I’ll be On Studio 5 today showing how to make my fun Washer Necklace! I’ve spiced them up for Spring! To celebrate I’m giving away a Necklace so be sure to enter in today’s comments section! Read on for more details and to learn how to make these fun Rolled Strip flowers I’ve added!
I spray painted these washers blue! Be sure to use paint that will adhere to metal!
Here is the original Washer Necklace I did! You can find the how to HERE!!! Look for a new washer necklace technique comeing after Easter! It’s soooo easy and versatile!
Rolled Strip Fabric Rosettes!
To make these beautiful rosettes you’ll first need to make strips of fabric! Each strip should be approximately 1/2″ wide by 20″ long! Fabric rips easily so cut a slit at the top of your fabric and pull! You can also use scissors to cut your strips!
Tie a knot at one end.
Fold your tail down and hold it like shown above!
This will act as our flower bud or the center of the rose!
Now we’ll start to wrap the strip around the bud. Each time we’ll twist and hold it in place with our fingers. Keep circling the center and you’ll see your flower grow!
When your flower is about the size of a silver dollar we can glue it to a sheet of felt. Create a pool of hot glue on your felt and press your flower onto it! Continue wrapping and folding the remaining strip of fabric until you achieve your desired size.
Tuck in the end and glue around the flower making sure all of the edges are glued into place!
Add a few more rosettes until you like the way it looks!
Trim off the excess felt and glue a pin to the back! It’s ready to adorn a necklace or shirt or Jacket! It’s the perfect fun Spring accessory that is up for
the challenge of spicing up your Spring look!!

I actually spent money and got a nice Easter dress. I figured spend more on a really nice, versatile piece; than only spending a little on a bunch of mediocre pieces. Now I make a bunch of different sets of jewelry that coordinate with the dress. It's just too bad that Conference is on Easter Sunday:)

So cute Becca! I will have to remember to watch Studio 5 today. I have been making those roses for a while and I love them every single time.
So, what am I planning to spruce up my wardrobe? Well, winning this necklace of course!
I love the necklace. I really need to spice up my wardrobe with some jewelry (hubby would like that) and some color!
I follow your blog
Ready to add some color and those darling necklaces for spring.
Oooh, love the rosette pin. What a great use of scraps. I am going to make some pins to spruce up.
And your washer necklaces are awesome! I made one some time ago and have washers left over. It's cool to see your twist on the original design. Groovy!
Oh, I'm a follower too. Of course!
I love the updated look! I really like the knotted ribbon ones…and the flowers added to it =)
And I am a follower =)
Very nice jewelry. My only question is wouldbt some of those neclaces be heavy to wear. I love the flower tutorial. Thanks for sharing.
I love them all. But I actually really like the brown one best. I might add those cute flowers though too!

To spice up my wardrobe I usually put on some brighter, bigger jewlery. Nothing too exciting for me.
I will be adding ruffles and ruched fabric to a few items in my wardrobe. I also think I will be making a few of these gorgeous necklaces!

I've been using ribbon to dress up old headbands. Love it!
I started wearing felt flowers pinned to my cardigans. It feels spring-y. Love the original washer necklace!
I love this idea and the simplicity of it. My 4-yr-old and I are going to scout out some fabric that we can use to spice up some of our plain t's. Thanks for your great ideas! Can't wait to see you on Studio5!
I'm working on finding some new skirts and dresses for the warm weather!
I want to add some pops of color to my spring wardrobe…this necklace would be a great starts!

Love the idea!! So cute, unique and fun to make. I need to run to Home Depot!
I love the way you repurpose the washers from a hardware store. I have trouble finding silk ribbon. Most of the ribbon now is paper for scrapbooking. Where do you find yours? Love your blog!!!

I am totally going to make some fun colored rosettes! They are so darling!

I tweeted about it!
going to work on pulling some color from my fabric stash for the spring.
What cute flowers and necklace ideas! I plan on making them with my grand daughter, who is 10. She and I live far away from eachother, but I will be visiting soon. We love to do all different craft ideas together, she loves to learn them and make things for her friends. I also thought it would be a fun wedding craft idea for decorating little girls shoes and dresses.
I plan to try the washer necklaces. Had saved your original tutorial, and now I have more options.

After watching your segments on Studio 5, I've decided to take another look at my boring wardrobe (especially shirts) and add a little flair to anything I possibly can!
I'm hoping that my spring wardrobe will be spiced up with some maternity clothes… but I won't know for a few more weeks.
And I'm a follower.
I need color in my wardrobe so this will be my goal. Love your tutorial.
Thank you for posting the rosette tutorial. I have tried those several times and can never seem to get it down, but now I'm inspired to try it again!
I NEED this necklace for a gift. My sister in law is the hardest person to shop for but she would LOVE this! Let me win please!!!!!!!
I tend to wear only a few colors, but I think it's time to spice it up with some turquoise, pink, yellow, etc. It'd be easy (and cheap!) to do this with accessories like these fabric rosettes. I'll try them as soon as I can get to the craft store.
I'm going to dress up several pairs of flip flops to match all the fabric flowers I've made.

I'm planning to spice up my wardrobe by winning this necklace–if, for some chance I don't win, then I'm going to be adding some ruffles to a few t-shirts I got on sale and making a few new dresses and skirts to enjoy the warm weather…it'll be summer before I turn around here in FL!!
