Ladies!! After seeing all of the DIY fabric flower tutorials — and then finding this AWESOME TUTORIAL, I had to make myself one of these beauties. Isn’t it cute hot? I can assure you that I’ll be making a few of these in different colors… oh wait, who am I kidding, I already did {giggle}.
Here’s a few of my own personalized tips:
- Use the stiff felt to offer a little more support to the back of the necklace.
- If you’re a perfectionist (like me), using a circle stencil is a real winner. I already had one, and put it to good use here. However, it did keep my circles (particularly the felt ones) much cleaner.
- The necklace pictured, the felt and fabric circles were measured at 1.25″ Playing with different sizes will allow you find something you’re comfortable with. After tinkering around, I found that eight fabric circles per flower worked perfectly with a circle at 1.375″. Glue four down the middle/center of the felt circle and then two on each side. Does the pic help at all?
- If you decide to make one with a patterned fabric, you’ll need 16 fabric circles per flower (place these circles on top of each other with the pattern facing out).
- The chain(s) on my necklace(s) measure 23″. If you plan to make a couple of these fun necklaces, buy a chain 48″ or longer — stretch those dollars {smile}. I bought a couple of mine at Michaels when I had a coupon too. I love to save!
Send me a pic of your necklace — have fun and be you!
Happy DIY projecting!
