Felting Clover Earrings Tutorial: Step-by-Step Guide for Beginners

Step-by-Step Felting Clover Earrings Tutorial

Step 1: Shape the Clover Base

Take light green wool and pull off a small amount.

Roll it into a ball, then gently flatten it into a small circle.

Repeat to make a second circle of the same size and thickness.

Pro Tip:

Use a 36-gauge needle for shaping.

Keep the wool lightly packed—this makes it easier to adjust later.

Step 2: Add Dark Green Edging

Take a thin strip of dark green wool.

Wrap it around the edge of each light green circle.

Poke firmly to secure the dark green wool in place.

Why This Works:
The dark green border gives the clover a clean, defined shape.

Step 3: Create the Four-Leaf Shape

Use your needle to poke four small holes around the edge.

Space them evenly to form a symmetrical clover.This separates the leaves and makes them stand out.

Common Mistake:

Avoid making the holes too deep—just enough to define the leaves.

Step 4: Shape Each Leaf into a Heart

Using the same method from step 3,

make a shallow hole inthe middle of the edge of each leaf,turning each leaf into a heart shape

For a Polished Look:

Use a fine needle for detailed shaping.

Smooth the edges for a clean finish.

Step 5: Attach Earring Hooks

Carefully poke a tiny hole at the top of each clover.

Insert a jump ring and attach the earring hook.

Optional: Add small gold or silver beads for extra sparkle.

Pro Tip:

Use round-nose pliers or scissors to securely close jump rings.

Step 6: Add Aromatherapy Scent

Place 1-2 drops of essential oil on the back of each earring.

Let it absorb into the wool for long-lasting fragrance.

Best Scents for Wool:

Lavender (calming)

Citrus (energizing)

Vanilla (sweet & subtle)
