{Rolled Fabric Flower Necklace}

I am a huge fan of blogs!  I follow a bajillion of them.  I'm also a huge fan of Pinterest.  A lot of times, I see blog posts or pins, and I think, "One day I'm going to make one of those."  Well, recently I was banished to my sunroom while some construction was going on inside my house.  To pass the time, I decided to make my own version of a necklace I've seen different places around the web.

If you want an in-depth explanation of how to make a necklace like this, check out {this post} by Pattern Runway.  I'm just going to give you a brief rundown of what I did to make my version. Step One:  Make rolled fabric flowers and embellish with beads.

Step Two: Arrange the flowers on a piece of paper the way you want them to appear on your necklace.  Trace the arrangement and cut out.

Step Three: Use the paper as a pattern to cut a piece of felt.

Step Four: Glue jump rings to your felt.

Step Five: Glue your flowers to your felt and glue or sew any extra embellishments to the flowers if you'd like. Step Six: Attach chain and a clasp to your flower "bib," and you have a brand new necklace.

I may have added too many beads and rhinestones to the necklace for some people's taste, but I was banished to the sunroom for a LONG TIME.  :)

As you can see, I have worn my necklace already.  You may be surprised that I didn't make a pink necklace.  I originally made the necklace to go with a ruffled tube top I planned on making.  Let's just say the ruffled tube top was a major craft fail.  To wear it, the ruffle would have had to go on the inside, or the side seams would have had to go on the outside.  This is the reason why sewing is not my favorite.  Luckily, I had a tank top that matched the necklace, so I still got to wear it even though the top was a flop.  :)  Since I shared my craft fail with you, what has been your worst craft fail to date?
