Ruched Zipper Flower Necklace

After going through my fabric stash I decided I would try out some new fun things this week.

I had been dreaming of a necklace like this and when I saw this challenged from the So Sew Challenge...I decided I had the right polka dot material and was up for the challenge.

I saw a necklace like this on Anthropologie called the Nevermore Necklace...

Anthro's price tag: $198.00, My price tag:$2.00 (roughly), SAVINGS $196.00

I cute four length wise strips and sewed them to make two really, really long strips.

And then I began folding them over each other like my photos below.

And then once you have made a block, thread a needle and sew through the middle of your pile.

Spread the material out and secure ribbon on both ends.

I thought mine looked a little plain so I made a rough version of the rosette found here on Studio 5 and made by Dear Lizzy.

And what would be a great accessory to go along with this necklace? But a black burlap bangle!

Two new ones listed in the Apostrophy Designs shop today!
