Flower Power...

I think I am addicted to all the fabric flower necklaces that you've seen lately. After receiving one recently, I thought to myself, "I can do this!"


For $3 I found these adorable gray and black fabric flowers with tiny pearls sewn in the center.

Let me repeat that...I let someone else do the hard work of creating these delicate flowers and got 15 of them for only $3!! Now that's a deal!!

I arranged a few of the fabric flowers and hot glued them onto a piece of leftover black fabric. I took a necklace and threaded it through the fold in the fabric.

Now doesn't this look like a necklace you would pay $20 or more for???

I wore it this week to work and got SO many compliments on it :)

Now I'm looking for ideas on what I can do with the remaining 8 flowers...any suggestions?

LOVE your necklace! Man are you creative! It's just so nice :)

I'm drawing a blank for another idea to do with them, but if I come up with something I'll come back and let you know!

LOVE!!!! I so want to make one of these. I make my own flowers ($3 is such a steal! No way I'd sell them for that! lol) and have been wanting to make them into a necklace. Great project!!
