Crochet Flower Necklace with Ribbon and Pearls Handmade by Me





So as you have probably noticed, flowers are really "in" this season. On shirts, dresses, purses, as pins, on stationary; everywhere. I've seen them in magazines, on qvc products, and on jewelry, it is a huge trend and theme. About a year ago I learned to make crocheted flowers, and you can see some of those in my etsy shop. I love to make them, it's pretty addictive. Then I was browsing on etsy I noticed something called the bib necklace; many people are making fabric or yarn flowers and making elaborate necklaces with them. I wanted to try to use the flower I already loved to make and see if I could turn it into a cool necklace. Well, I was thrilled with what happened as this evolved with cotton yarn, then some pearls, and seedbeads and satin ribbon. They take a long time to make, but I think they capture the season and the trend so well! These will soon be available at my etsy store. Only three of them exist right now, and of course I have to keep one.
