I've got a little treat for you today... a felt pomander! I've used felted wool sweater scraps, but I think it would also look great made from felt . Great for ornaments and holiday decor! Cute. Plus easy.
Get a two inch styrofoam ball. Push a needle with doubled wool throught the ball and secure with button at the bottom, leaving a fairly long strand of doubled wool to use as a hanger.
Make rosettes out of felt or felted wool from old sweaters.
Secure rosettes to the ball with hot glue and add colored pearl headed pins or a pin through a bead.
How to Make the Rosettes
Cut out the circles. Then cut the circles into spirals. As I have been making these I've noticed that slightly uneven circles and spirals make more interesting roses.
You can draw your spiral first if you don't trust your cutting skills
Start at the outside end and roll together the felt, keeping the bottom (the dotted line) as even and flat as possible.
Sometimes the very center of the spiral ends out sticking out. Cut this piece off so that the bottom is completely flat.
