Marni Inspired Necklace tutorial by Shey

Hi ladies! Today I have a tutorial to share, I made a necklace inspired by this Marni necklace and guess what? I didn't delete the pictures before I wrote the post (yay!). Here is the Marni necklace:
Here is what you will need:
felt fabric
old brooches, earrings or buttons
glue gun
thread and needle
paper and pen
scissors

1. Start by tracing the pattern of your bib necklace on paper, make sure you try it on your neckline to see if it's the size and shape you want.
2. Once you trace it and cut it arrage the brooches over it to see how you are going to pin and glue them.
3. Trace the pattern on you fabric (twice) and cut out.
4. Sew together...
5. Pin the brooches, if more support for the fabric is needed add a piece of extra fabric where the brooch is pinned.
6. Glue brooches in place too and do a few invisible stitches where possible. This will help for stability.
7. Glue ribbon to both ends.
8. Voila! You necklace is done!
You can be as creative as you want. Hope you enjoy this tutorial! =D

I think the necklace you made is actually much prettier than the inspiration - much more organized and classy where the Marni looks like someone threw bits of trash on a piece of cloth.

Thanks for sharing the tutorial! I see so many possibilities for making many different 'look's of necklaces. And a creative technique for reuse!
