Felted Bead Bracelet

This project involves making felted beads and then using these beads to make a bracelet. If you have always wanted to try and felt something and haven't, here is your chance to get started on something that can't get any easier. This is also a  fun project to do with kids. To follow along you will need:

• Fiber
• Water
• Palmolive dish soap
• Beads
• Stretch magic
• Crimp bead
• Charms 
• Sewing thread and needle
• Pliers
• Wire (to hang charms)

Interested in joing an online trading group for crafts? Here are some of my favorites:

• http://groups.yahoo.com/group/artchixstudio/  - A great variety of projects and swaps using some of my favorite supplies from ARTchix
• http://groups.yahoo.com/group/arttechniques/ - This group shares their art techniques so that everyone can learn. This is the group that I participated in the book swap for the book you saw in the show.
• http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Charms2007swap/ - This group is great for swapping charms. It's great getting small pieces of art from a wide range of people.
• http://groups.yahoo.com/group/FiberArtTraders/ - I joined this group about six months ago, but have only followed along through emails. I definately think that some of you may find that this group suits you.
