Step 1: Shaping the Mushroom Cap
1、Pull a small amount of red wool (about the size of a grape).
2、Roll it gently between your palms to form a loose ball.
3、Flatten one side against the foam pad, shaping it into a rounded umbrella cap.
4、Working in pairs prevents size mismatches.
Step 2: Creating the Mushroom Stem
Take two equal tufts of white wool.
1、Roll them into short cylinders (about 1.5 cm tall).
2、Attach each stem to a cap by gently felting them together.
3、Use a stabbing motion at the joint for a secure bond.
Troubleshooting:
If the stem wobbles, add a tiny bit more wool for stability.
Step 3: Adding Decorative Dots
1、Pinch tiny bits of white wool (about half a pea size).
2、Roll them into mini balls and press onto the red cap.
3、Felt lightly to secure without flattening them.
Design Tip:
Space the dots unevenly for a whimsical, organic look.
Step 4: Attaching Ear Hooks (Secure Method)
This is where many DIY earrings fail—but not yours!
1、Thread a bead onto a 9-shaped pin.
2、Push the pin through the mushroom top (cap center).
3、Bend the exposed tip with pliers to lock it in place.
4、Open the jump ring, slide on the ear hook, and close.
Watch Out For:
Avoid over-tightening, which can crush the wool.
Step 5: Optional Scent Boost
Turn your earrings into portable diffusers:
Add 1-2 drops of essential oil to the wool stem.
Let it absorb for 10 minutes before wearing.
