What I Made Monday 8/22/11

It's time to head on over to Conni's blog for I Made It Monday.

Photobucket


Again, Pinterest totally inspired me. I think it's well known that I love all things flowers and blossoms. Well, I figured I might as well try a flowery necklace of some sort. But the popular rosettes just wasn't something I could master, so I found this tutorial and made a couple of pom pom necklaces. 
The tutorial was perfect, explaining tools and materials needed and providing step by step instructions.

I picked cotton, poly/cotton and rayon/spandex fabrics. I've worked so far with the cotton and rayon/spandex and they were easy to work with. 
 And the results were so much cooler than I expected!
 I loved the patterned fabric. It will be fun with plain white or brown tees.
 And the sea foam one is being worn today. 
If you usually receive Christmas gifts from me, don't be surprised if this is in your stocking.
