I love rosette bib statement necklaces, however buying them can cost a pretty penny. This necklace can easily be made with scrap fabric for about 1/6th of the retail cost.
You can make this out of any fabric, however I recommend using cottons over silky fabrics, as cotton frays easily. Also keep in mind a color scheme when picking out your fabrics, using a print with a solid color is always visually appealing.
You will need:
Scraps of fabric [45" in length]
Felt
Glue Fun
Extra Fabric [to cover felt]
Cord/Braid/Trim/Ribbon
Scissors
End Fasteners
After twisting the free ends, begin to wrap the twisted section around the knot, and hot glue the rosette as you go.
Cut your pattern for your bib necklace out of felt -
Take your rosettes and begin to glue them onto the felt, use smaller sizes of rosette's to help fill in gaps; don't worry about the white areas around the edges of the necklace, you will cut that off when you are done.
Now trim away all of the excess felt around the edges of the necklace. At this point, hot glue your cord across the back of the necklace. - If you would like to make the back of the necklace a little neater, hot glue some scrap fabric on top of the back, then trim away the edges.
Add your end fasteners, and you are good to go!
I need a glue gun! I haven't used one since I made a model mission in fourth grade.Where do you get all theses cool DIY necklace ideas? They're very, very pleasing to my eyes:-D

Omg once i saw the first picture of this post my jaw dropped and I knew i had to do this right away lol. I see these necklaces on etsy for like $60 but now I can make my own. Plus I have a bunch of scrap fabric that I was going to throw out, but now I can use it. Just have to get a hot glue gun now. Thank you for this post
ReplyDelete@Anonymous, LOLLLL Thank you! And heck yeah; I see them on Etsy all the time...and when I see the price, I am like sheessh!
ReplyDeleteThis is a good way to use up all of that scrap fabric! Hot glue guns are inexpensive too!
Hey it's Anonymous again! I tried this project and it didn't really come out right. I have a question: when you twist the fabric how do you keep it from unraveling as you glue? I tried braiding the fabric but the end result isn't the same. Also how do you keep the glue from getting too messy?
ReplyDeleteit is a good share,wonderful post,thank you
