There is a lot of times that I fail at creating what I believe to be an easy feat, but I rarely throw these projects or ideas out the window. I toss them to the side lines for a spark of inspiration for another day! This has helped me to see many of my ideas come to fruition over time as well as given me a stock pile of to dos/ one of these days. But it didn't take long for this to take off and in the end I was pleased with the outcome as usual.
As I began my adventure I realized my OCD is too picky for leaving even the smallest of details un-noticed sometimes. And in this particular instance it was my sewing to blame!
I started with some scrap satin and some old hem tape ribbon. And before I knew it I had a necklace base to work with... Or so I thought....this (above) is the 'big' problem I couldn't look past before I ventured into decorating the top. No problem for some; they would just begin to cover and be done with it. But me, no its not that easy. I let this thing bug me for weeks staring at me on the floor, tossed around the desk, cluttering the craft table and getting eyed by the dogs for a chew toy. But that all changed on a little trip to great mentors house for a craft room de-cluttering session.
From this little extravaganza I was generously given a large oatmeal canister full of random trinkets, some useable and some just random to say the least. And in my treasure trove I discovered this fringe. No snags to deal with and just long enough to cover the necklace base.
So I clipped the fringe to the top of the necklace to determine the length and keep it attched while I sew.
After the fringe was sized to fit. I sewed with a straight stitch along the edge and attached the fringe. And Voila!
My Creation!
