How to Make Timeline Friends Private
If you don't want other people to see your friends list in your Timeline Profile, follow these steps:

First, view your own profile, and find the module that has your friends in it, and click the "See All" Link
facebook timeline edit all friends

Then in the top right, look for the "Edit Friends" button and click it.
Then select "only me"
facebook timeline private friends

If you then want to verify that your friends are private, go back to your timeline and select the "View As" option here.

Then you can type a person's name in the provided box to see what that person sees when they look at your timeline, OR, if you want to see what the public sees when they view your timeline, you must also click the small "public" link at the top, as shown here.

Keep in mind that this will not hide "mutual friends" - that is a separate function created on-the-fly by facebook, which means mutual friends can not be hidden.
