Threaded felt beads
We finally threaded some of the felt beads. Experimented with beading thread and elastic. The elastic was easier for the children to put on and take off, but I suspect that it might not be so kind to the beads over time.
The girls love their bracelets. Yeh!
They worked…did you use shirring elastic?
Yes, it was shirring elastic. I thought any thicker might increase the chance of the felt splitting. I used a sharp thin needle for the same reason. Its worked so far, but I have a feeling that the elastic might weaken the felt eventually. Oh well. I’m sure we can turn them into flowers, or something, if it comes to that!
