Simple Rosette Necklace

This past week I was at the SNAP conference in Utah.  I had a great time and learned so much but it will take a little while for me to recap the event.  In the meantime I’ll be sharing some of the projects I completed in preparation for the event.

Last year I was making a lot of rosette necklaces but was bored with the trend so I wasn’t wearing any of them myself.  I’ve gone back to loving this style of necklace and wanted to make myself something to wear during the conference.  

I used scrap fabric to make rosettes and hot glued them onto white felt.  I did not draw a template on the felt for this necklace but if it’s your first time making this style of necklace I would recommend taking that extra step.  You don’t want to end up with an odd shape after you get all your rosettes glued together.

I trimmed the loose threads, cut the white felt backing around the edges, and added a couple of embellishments.

The project was going smoothly until I realized I did not have a chain for the necklace.  I spent almost an hour attaching little rings together.

To attach the chain I glued a piece of felt over each end on the back of the necklace.

I attached a clasp and my necklace was done.

Heather and Jessica are both moms that share a love for DIY projects. A few of Heather’s favorite things are pearls, rhinestones, and her glue gun. Jessica loves to find ways to fuel her fabric obsession! Have fun getting to know them through their creations!
