Diy 'Akela' Necklace

Based on Diy 'Akela' Necklace by katcar~
I really loved this necklace the moment I saw it. I'm not a creative person at all so this was my very first attempt at even trying to make something. It took me some time to make since I don't have a sewing machine and this was also my first time making a flower. Synging the fabric was really hard for me because it kept catching on fire. Any tips on syinging the edges?

I made it exactly the way the instructions said and surprisingly it actually turned out better than I thought it would. I made the necklace for myself but my 5 year old daughter loves it so I'll just have to make another one =)
