Like organic type jewelry?  How about trying needle felting? It's fun to do and like many a craft such as knitting, beading, crochet and so on, the repetitive motion is soothing as well. I dare say the stabbing action also relieves stress. The crafter's way of anger management? Haha. 

This craft uses wool roving which now comes pre-dyed in many lovely colors. Felting needles are the implements required. These are barbed at the ends so be careful to avoid poking fingers!

I really like the easy needle felted earrings tutorial  shown above by Canadian crafter, Danielle of Dano Does Things (youtube). You can certainly go on to embellish the basic felted earrings with thread or bead embroidery, sew on sequins and so on.  

This instructor really believes in "Learn. Have Fun. Be Creative" and has a fun sense of humor.  I  chuckled when I went to her website, scrolled down and stumbled on the "testimonies" she shared. 


Robin Clay for Source Point shares a sneak peak for a class she teaches for this felted zipper brooch tutorial. The zipper forms a frame for the felted portion. She does not use a cookie cutter but the open lid of a mason jar.  

The originator of the zipper felted brooch technique is Canadian Odile Gova of Woolly Fabulous (she has a tutorial in her Etsy shop).



This beginner felted pendant tutorial shows how you can do a little "painting" with felt. I like how the oval felted piece is framed by a filigree. The instructor is Ashley of Prissy Hobbit (Youtube) .  She also has an art journal shop,  Darling Cottage Diary. Her Tiny Bird Treasure does not exist anymore.
