To create this simple Canvas Flower Necklace, all you need is...
5 Green Grid Canvas Flowers
5 Brown Letters Canvas Flowers
1 Large Cool Beans button
Helmars 450 Quick Dry Adhesive
Round nose pliers
Flat nose pliers
Hole punch 1/16" in size
glass beads & chain of your choice
Once you have determined how you will design the necklace, using your hole punch (1/16"), punch a hole semi close to the edge of flower (this is where your jump rings will be attached). I used green grid canvas flower on one end and brown text on the opposite side.
Adhere same shape design and size flower on the opposite end of your first flower together. Line up the holes and mark to be punched.
Once punched, add jump ring each of the flowers.
Add same color of floss to your large Cool Beans Button (Brown), then add Helmars 450 Quick Dry adhesive the largest flower (focal flower) and adhere button. Set aside and let dry.
I've chosen small blue glass beads to anchor each flower. Add single loops to each end of glass beads and attach to the jump rings on each side of the flowers. Attach row of flowers to a chain necklace & trim to desired length.
Once You've added the chain to your row of flowers, add lobster claw or toggle clasp to each end of chain for closure. I've added an extender chain (using larger chain links that I also used as my jump rings) at the end of my chain for adjustments.
Depending on your mood, you can switch up the color/design of the flowers each time, for fun or you can mix & match the colors/design at once. This necklace would go perfect with a pair of your favorite jeans & t-shirt.
Thank you so much Cindy!
