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.

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. 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. Small angel2 1273069026

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

  3. Small angel3 1273069039

    Mark placement of buttons.

  4. Small angel4 1273069064

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

  5. Small angel5 1273069071

    Remove the rhinestones from where the button areas.

  6. Small angel6 1273069076

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

  7. Small angel7 1273069114

    Sew on buttons.

  8. Small angel8 1273069124

    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)

    (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. Small angel11 1273069162

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