Yes, stupor. I drink the diet coke to get some pep. Then after 20 minutes of pep, I'm stupor-fied.
Any-chow. Chow. Ha.
I found inspiration for the necklace below from this site. In fact, you can use the site for instructions on how to make the flowers.
Summary: Find an old t-shirt or go buy one from the $1 store (that's what I did). Get your glue gun out.
Need a sheet of fleece and a chain (I bought a 30 or 36" and cut it in half).
Cut t-shirt into small circles. A TON (I did 45). The same size. You'll need 8 circles per flower. Cut "petals" around each circle. I used a sewing machine to stitch them together, but you can hand stitch them too.

I only did 5 flowers for my necklace. I'm not the 20 flowers around your neck kind of girl.
Using fleece, cut out the shape (2x) you want the necklace to be.
Glue the flowers on. Trim away excess fleece.
Buy a chain and glue the ends in between the fleece layers that you're using for the base of the flowers. If you do it this way, make sure the chain is long enough to get over your noggin'.
Badah bing. Badah bag.
I've received lotso compliments and you will too. Make one during spring break. You'll have fun.
You may burn your fingers with the glue gun, but it'll be worth it. I promise. I realize I was a little bossy, but it's all for your own good.

very cute! But I also like your version better, classier, more refined.
ReplyDeleteHey Selina,
ReplyDeletePlease feel free to share! Thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks Jen and Annie.
Is this part of the spring line? 8-)
ReplyDeleteReally pretty necklace, Tina. I like the way the pink looks against your black & white striped shirt, too. Thanks for the warning on the glue gun... I tend to burn myself... a lot:)
ReplyDeleteVisiting from Tip Me Tuesday.
Great necklace! I do like the bigger version, but that's cos I like OTT accessories, but yours is a lot more sophisticated. Great work! :)

Coming from TT&J. I love this version, plus that really fits my skills...
ReplyDeleteA question though about the flowers: how big are the circles? and do you give each layer a quarter turn to make them so "fluffy"?
Thanks a million (from a beginner crafter)
