Here is how to make a ruffle fabric necklace (keep reading for a bit of a giveaway).
Supplies: Scrap fabric (3 inches wide, 8 or more inches long), wire, chain, pliers, scissors and a sewing machine.
Cut the fabric to abut 3 inches wide and 8 inches long (you can make it longer if you want more ruffles). Fold the fabric over and create a seam 1/4 of an inch down from the folded seam.
Cut a piece of wire about 4 inches long and feed the wire through the sleeve you created. Using the pliers, create hooks on each end. Attach the ends of the chain to each hook and secure.
And there you have it! A ruffled fabric necklace! I made two with scrap fabric I had - one with polka dots and the other with mustard yellow flowers.
These were fun to make, but not really my style. Although, probably very cute with a plain tee! Like one? Let me know which! I'll randomly pick someone (if more than one person wants one) to send it to! Just leave a comment.
The polka dot one is really cute. I would love it.
ReplyDeleteIs it weird that I really like the greenish one because it reminds me of the outfits Maria made for the Von Trapp kids in the sound of music?
ReplyDeleteCorrection - yellowish. I shouldn't use my eyes before 9 a.m.
ReplyDeleteBoth are cute :) and that's a great idea I'll do it!
