Floral FUN!

So what does one do when they are miles away from their crafty room when they get a crafty itch?  Make a stamping order and create something!  That's exactly what I did.  I just couldn't help myself anymore.  :-)  It helps that I won a Vintage Groove Kit from Making Memories.  It was just the inspiration I needed to get my craft on and make this lovely necklace.  I call it Floral fun.  :-)

I've never really made jewelry before now but with all the sweet jewelry kits that are available I am more likely to make more wearable art.   Are you wondering how I made it?  It was so easy and it includes upcycling a brown paper bag.  That's right.  Forget the cost of craft cardstock!

SUPPLIES:
SU! Fifth Avenue Floral Stamps, SU! Not Quite Navy Ink, SU! Antique Brads, Making Memories Vintage Groove Chain, & a Brown Paper Bag

Paper Flower Instructions:

• Cutout multiple sizes of flowers from a brown paper bag. 
• Stamp your floral cutouts. 
• Crinkle each stamped flower individually.
• Stack all the flowers with the smallest flower on top. 
• Attach a brad for the flower center.

Necklace Instructions:

• Put on the unadorned chain to figure out the best placement of your baubles.
• Take off the unadorned chain and place in front of you.
• Place your paper flower in your favorite spot on the chain.
• Use the prongs of the brad to secure your flower to the chain.
• Attach other brads along the chain as desired. 

That's all it took to make this pretty bauble.  I hope like it and go make one of your own!

Smiles,

~Nancy
