On the weekend I created this pretty necklace to wear to our family Easter lunch. I've used two of my favourite businesses for supplies - dandelyne and The Strawberry Thief.
+ mini hoop necklace kit
+ Liberty Tana Lawn in Betsy P
+ embroidery thread to match
+ embroidery needle
+ scissors
+ glue & brush
Move the hoop over the fabric to help choose which section you would like to feature in your necklace.
step 2
Embellish using embroidery thread. We've chosen the red flower as a focal point and used a simple satin stitch. Keep the thread at the back as minimal and tidy as possible.
step 3
Place the hoop over your miniature artwork and use a pencil to trace around the outside of the hoop.
step 4
Cut approx. 1cm around the pencil line
step 5
Flip the fabric over so that the wrong side is facing upward and place the small disc in the centre of the fabric.
step 6
Snip into the fabric around the circle and use glue to secure the fabric to the disc. Check the front as you go to ensure it is smooth.
step 7
Turn the disc right side up and place the hoop over your creation. Tighten the bolt at the top of the hoop to secure the disc
step 8
Turn the hoop over and use glue to attach the larger wooden disc to finish
Allow to dry and your new necklace is ready to wear!
