Description 

Jewel-encrusted statement necklaces have been all over the runways for a couple seasons now. I chose to make two: one black, one white - one for when I'm feeling a little saintly, and one for when I'm feeling a little bad.


Instructions 
  1. 1

    Cut a piece of felt about 7.75" wide by 4.5" deep in a U shape (width of the felt is about 1.5").


  2. 2
    Step 2

    Stitch ends of ribbon onto right side of felt, either by hand or by machine.


  3. 3
    Step 3

    Mark placement of buttons.


  4. 4
    Step 4

    Cut iron-on rhinestone piece to shape and note placement of buttons.


  5. 5
    Step 5

    Remove the rhinestones from where the button areas.


  6. 6
    Step 6

    Iron on front. Use scraps of iron-on rhinestone piece and add more rhinestones to the felt until you have used everything up.


  7. 7
    Step 7

    Sew on buttons.


  8. 8
    Step 8

    Embellish remaining spaces on the felt with more stick-on pearls (by anchoring in felt glue), sequins, and by sewing on pearls until the whole neckpiece is covered. (angel8.jpg)


  9. 9
    Step 9

    (Tip: I outlined the buttons in tiny pearls first, then filled in the middle. The closer together your embellishments are - and the more of them you add - the more expensive and glamorous the piece looks. Barney's, here you come!)


  10. 10
    Step 10

    Cut chiffon ribbon in half, tie around neck, and add a bit of glam to any angelic getup.
