Felted Pebbles Bib Necklace
by Ali on 09/26/19
About this design:
As soon as these felt rounds came in, I knew what colors I wanted to use together. I sat at my desk with piles of felt in front of me all mixed together and a shape started to form. All I had to do was figure out how to make the pile into a necklace! I absolutely love wearing a collar/bib necklace in the fall and winter and am so happy with how it turned out. This necklace could absolutely be made half the size and still be a cool statement piece.
What you’ll need: (buy products below)
- 20-30 10mm felt round, mixed colors
- 50-60 15mm felt round, mixed colors
- 10-16 20mm felt round, mixed colors
- 2mm faceted crystal rondelles
- C-Lon Fine Weight (.4mm) Bead Cord for forming the main structure
- C-Lon Size D Thread for embroidering on the crystal
- 2 5-6" lengths of large cable chain
- hook or your preferred clasp
- awl (or a skewer)
