dainty flower necklace, with real flower

[lafemmedramatique]

So, today I was sitting there going through some junk in my purse, and I realized that I REALLY needed to throw away my old blush container (i've been out of blush for weeks) but before I did I noticed that the metal part could pop out, and would be perfect for a collage pendant...

So, some scrap fabric, a dried flower I found on the ground several weeks ago, some scrap ribbon, and some Mod Podge and hot glue came together to make this!

I'm so proud of it. It has a victorian-esque feel, to me, but the fabric has frayed edges, which adds a nice urban chic feel....

Let me know what you think. I thought about selling it on etsy, but I'm so attached to it now! haha!

That is just gorgeous!  And incredibly inventive.  Great work!

Now THAT is the sort of resourcefulness that makes Craftsters rock. Beautiful idea!

haha! I def. agree! I can't stand the idea of spending tons of money on the "good" stuff... first of all, it normally is not actually good, and secondly, why would I pay money for the things I need when I can just make it all myself... that is, after all, the point of DIY!

I am so happy i realized it before I pitched it... recycling is SO much better than throwing things out!

I looooove that! Gorgeous!

Good work. If you were to sell it, I would recommend switching to some sort of a chain mount. Maybe you can find an 'aged' metal chain at your local thrift to match the feel.

Absolutely gorgeous! Victorian is love.

Awesome. I would also try and put a seal or something over the flower and fabric so the flower wouldnt crumble if you havent done this already...So cute.

I love it. The metal part of a makeup container-something else not to throw out.Smart idea.We craftsters must have the least garbage of anyone on the planet.Yay for inventiveness! It's a lovely necklace.
