Last Minute Green - fabric necklace fun!

What?! you're not wearing green, sore from all the pinches?? Whip this up quick!
So the base of the flower isn't anything new - you cut 4 circles fold each one and then fold it again so it's a triangle, then glue all the triangles together onto a circle.  This is everywhere in the blog world so I didn't do a tutorial, but here's what the back looks like:
What I DID come up with was that fun center - and so easy.  Here's the how-to:
--Take an extra circle and put a glob of hot glue in the middle of the back:
--Plop it down into the center of your flower and scrunch/pinch the glue area, as shown:
That's it - it should look like this:
Put them into necklace form by using my fabric necklace tutorial.  See how the folds kind of fluff up -
Fun, right??  Oh, and look it matches my camera strap I won on a blog giveaway awhile ago - -
Have a great Green Day (my favorite color, ya know!)

  3. Very cute. I love green too. It's what I see from May through October. The rest of the year is white. SO, right now I'm longing to see GREEN again!!! :-0
