Fabric Flower Necklace

I am demonstrating a craft at a party this Friday,
so I've been experimenting with a few different ideas.

Wednesday afternoon I tried a tutorial from Little Miss Momma.

It was totally fun to make, and I love, love, love the end result!
They would make fabulous gifts for any girl in your life.
I want one in every color!

Gather your supplies:
one page of felt
about 1/4ish a yard of a solid color of cotton fabric (I always over buy fabric...)
glue and glue gun
scissors
chain
jewelry closure
Cut as many 1.5 inch felt circles as you want flowers.
Use your felt circles as a pattern to cut out a TON of cotton fabric circles...
it really depends on how full you want your flowers to end up...
I used about 13 or so cotton circles for each felt circle...
You can always go back and cut more circles like I did...
Fold each circle up about 3 times...
Starting in the center of your felt circle, glue the folded cotton circle down...
Keep gluing until your flowers are full...
Make all your flowers...
Arrange them on your left over felt, but DO NOT glue them down yet...
Start with gluing your center flower down, but do not glue your end flowers down yet...
Glue your chain down with your end flowers about one inch...I used 16 inches of chain.
Stand back and admire your work...
Trim off the extra felt...
Add your jewelry closure to the middle of your chain...
Impress your friends with your awesome, handmade flower necklace...
