Take, or cut, a long strip of fabric.
-
Take it in your hand and crush it up, folding the tail of the fabric over and over.
-
Roll it up in to a ball.
-
Take a length of wire and wrap it around the ball, securing the fabric's shape. Snip off any excess wire and tuck the pointy edges down in to the fabric ball.
-
Make a big pile of fabric balls, about 10.
-
Thread a needle with some embroidery thread.
-
Take two balls and stitch them together. Snip off any excess thread.
-
Repeat this with the remaining balls.
-
Cut two lengths of ribbon and sew them to either end of your ball necklace.
-
Tie the two lengths of ribbon together and you've made a cute necklace.

Yay! I love this. But I'm having a hard time making the balls properly round, though. When I try to make it, it ends up becoming more triangular than round. Any tips?

Hmm, your perhaps being a little too delicate with the fabric, scrunch it up at one end and then roll it up. The wire can help you reinforce it's shape, so don't worry too much about making the ball quite loose!

Thank you for the tut.
I can't make the ball round. it comes out like a cylinder. hOw do you make it that round? It seems too delicate! and not just making it rolls in any way
Do you stitch it in place after you are finished with rolling?

I wrapped the wire tightly around it as soon as I had rolled the ball, that way it kept the shape.

Cool idea for use of all those beautiful remnants left behind from your bigger projects. Could see you taking it to the next level with a loose fabric belt done in the same fashion. Thanks!
