More Inspiration
To enter the DownEast giveaway, look here.
A while back I found the blog, Heart of Light. I fell in love with (do I say that too much? I guess I fall in love easily....hmm....).....Rachel's headbands and decided to give them a whirl. I adore them. Easy. Inexpensive. Cute. Can't do much better than that. I liked them so much that I offered to do them as a craft for Craftapalooza (Enrichment, Super Saturday but on a Tues). We shall see how that goes.
Anyway, I knew I wanted to make a necklace based on her ideas. But I wasn't exactly sure how it'd turn out. I just played around with some fall colors and ended up with this:
FYI- in person the colors are deep orange (think rust), mustardy yellow and green leaves. I added a fun little trim for the necklace.
It took me a total of about 1 hour to do it from start to finish. I think it would take a newbie a bit more time since I had already made headbands. But really, not bad at all.
And I feel more fall-like wearing it around my neck (still not really fall here in So Cal).

would love you to post a little tutorial on how to do these---what kind of fabric did you buy? are those buttons for the centers? was the burning difficult?

lovey love it. hate that we pretty much get ripped off in the fall department. but then again, we don't have to shovel our cars out of the snow in winter. lose. win.
Oooo! I love the necklace. I really want to make some of these for my plain jane t-shirts.
