Poly-Satin Flowers: The Necklace

So, I did it!  And for the first one, I am really pleased!  Here is what I did. 

I made the flowers (see 9/12/11 post for tutorial) then cut out a piece of felt to use as backing then I glued (using hot glue) the flowers to the felt (then realized I had to recut some notches out of the felt so you could not see the felt behind the flowers.  Then I hot glued a pearl in the center of each flower. 

Then I took a necklace I bought for $1.00 at a resale shop and clipped the links in the middle and removed the center pearl.  I stuck a piece of metal like a jewelry pin (which I cut from piece of broken necklace and bent with pliers) then put the pin through the felt and pinched it with pliers...hard to describe but easy to do!

I then the center pearl that I cut off the necklace as the middle of the tan flower and used a few other pearls from another necklace I took apart for the centers of the other 4 flowers.

Then I tried it on!! :) Swwweet!  I am going to wear it to ArtPrize tonight!
