1. 

   

   Save up wool yarn scraps from past projects.

2. 

   

   Wad-up the scraps of yarn, reserving a few longer strands. Wet the wad down in very warm water, squeezing out some of the water. Use the reserved longer strands of yarn to help firm up and gently bind the ball together.
   
   Pour a little liquid dish soap on your palms and gently begin to rub and roll the ball around in your palms. Keep rinsing the ball under hot and cold water and adding soap as needed.
   
   As the ball begins to shrink and get firmer, use a little more pressure as you roll it around in your palms.
   
   When the ball seems solid, rinse it in cold water to remove any excess soap. Rinse again in a vinegar and water solution. Squeeze out any excess moisture and set aside to dry.

3. 

   

   Make something with your felt balls such as jewelry, buttons, cat toys, or whatever you like.
