I was thrilled to be a creative guest on Ucreate a few months ago where I shared my Braided Ribbon and Chain Necklace. Then, today, I was looking through my drafts and realized I never shared it here. So I realized it would be fun to recap and share with all of you – just in case you missed it.
And our necklace is finished!
Now we are ready to add the fabric flower.
This is the hard part because there are so many great ways to make fabric flowers.
I made this flower by cutting12 circles from a lightweight rayon fabric. I stacked all but 5 of the circles on top of one another a little off center. Then I took the last 5 circles, folded each one in half twice and layered those on top of the flat circles. I used my needle and thread to stitch it all together. Twist the folded circles around, fluff it up, and you have a great looking fabric flower!
Finally, show off your fabulous new necklace that you made and enjoy all the compliments you get!!
How simple is that? So easy that you will have time to make one for yourself and to give as a fabulous gift. You can make them in different colors, use various widths of ribbon and fun, funky fabric flowers. I think a pretty fabric rosette would be really pretty. The possibilities are endless.
great job! thanks for sharing 🙂

Oh, I like that! I wonder if you could put the flower on a pin back or something and make it interchangable.
How cute and clever! I love how this turned out. Stopping by from Family Ever After. Thanks for sharing!
