Five ways to make felt balls

I start with my new video, where I show you five different ways to make the perfect felt balls. This video was filmed live on Instagram and has been getting a lot of great feedback! I show you five effective and different ways to make felt balls that you can use at home, for play or even as stress toys. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced felt maker, you're sure to find new ideas and inspiring techniques here.

Wet donation with children

My second video is about a light and easy way to make felt balls. In this method, I use a particularly soft and light wool, which allows for gentle and fast felting. This method is perfect for beginners or for those who are looking for a relaxing and peaceful felting time. Soft wool balls are the perfect addition to children's play and home decor alike - bringing warmth and natural beauty to any home.

Felting with a needle

My third video is about the needle felting technique, which allows you to create precisely shaped and durable felt balls. Needle felting uses a special needle that helps the wool fibres to adhere tightly together. This method is particularly suitable when you want to make smaller and tighter felt balls. Needle felting is a favourite technique for many craft enthusiasts, as it allows for very precise work and small, detailed shapes.

Possible uses of felt balls

Felt balls are not just a visual addition to the home; they have many practical uses:

• As a decorative element: Felt balls are great for interior decoration - for example, you can make them into table decorations, still lifes or hanging decorations for different spaces. They bring warmth and natural beauty to a room.
• Muscle training for arms and legs: Felt balls are excellent tools for relaxing and exercising the muscles of the hands and feet. Many people use them to massage the soles of their feet, relieving tension and promoting well-being.
• As a stress relief: These balls can be squeezed and spun in the hands, which for many people is a calming and concentration aid.
• For pets to play: Felt balls are also great toys for both cats and small dogs! Their soft and natural texture makes them a safe alternative for pets to play with.

Felt stones: a natural way to bring warmth and style to your home

Felt stones are a great way to bring both natural beauty and soft ambience into your home. With these unique and handmade felt stones, you can create a cosy and calming atmosphere that is perfect for any interior. They mimic the shape and colour of natural stones, but are soft, lightweight and safe for all ages, even children and pets.

Felt stones are incredibly versatile: you can use them on a table, on a windowsill, on the floor or even create whole arrangements. You can even use them to create a meditation corner or a corner for relaxation, inviting you to take a moment for yourself in the midst of a busy day.

I have made a detailed video on how to make felt blocks, and this video complements my extensive collection of felting materials. In the video, I clearly show the steps to easily make your own felt pebbles, whether they are decorative or practical interior elements. Through the felting process, you will access your creativity and discover its calming effect.
