I'm Wearing It

I had a few requests to see the necklace I made on - I aim to please! :)

Do you have the vision now? 

I also had someone say they wanted to make them with me, I say let's get a date on the calendar! And invite your friends, we'll all be sportin' them! :)

Other necklace

After I posted my pom pom necklace project, I realized that before Christmas I made another necklace but didnt post about it because it was a gift for the Sisters-In-Law! So here's another necklace that this same friend found!  I believe it too is a Little Miss Momma creation...that girl's good!

So here's the necklace...

And the girlfriends who helped...

And a girl and her bogo...

And an action shot!

The necklaces were a big hit (whew!) I just love projects like these!

Happy Day!

Excuse me, where's the nearest Fabric Store?

On Monday I crafted a cute little necklace that a friend of mine saw.  She found it on a darling blog, and the tutorial is here.  Now, I will warn you, while Little Miss Momma pointed out that the necklace was easy to make (true), she failed to mention that it is time consuming! 

So First I went to the Fabric Store - am I turning into my mother or what!?  The smell alone made me flash back to my childhood and all I wanted to do was hurry and get outta there!  but I found these dandies in the clearance bin -

But GREAT NEWS! - if I bought 3, I got an additional 33% off! Holla! Deal shopping in the Fabric Store...now I really am my mom.

Since Little Miss Momma's tutorial is here, and way better than mine, I wont go into full detail - but I cut the felt circles first

Then I cut the fabric circles.  LMM says to do them about the same size, which I did, but if i had it to do over, I'd cut them a little bigger, fyi.  So then I got busy gluing...and gluing....and gluing!  First I glued scrunched fabric circles to felt circles, then I glued all of the felt circles to more felt, then glued the chain to the felted pom poms.

Voila! New necklace! And so many compliments on it!

 

Inspired?! It's really not hard, just pop in a dvd and get your glue on!

Happy Thursday!

Good to Know Monday

Hot glue does NOT ruin a manicure.

Glue on my friends, glue on.

Happy Monday! :)
