Un joli collier en mousseline...

I loved this little tutorial when I saw it and could not wait to get to a fabric store.. few few and fewer these days..:( C'est triste!

But I got there and finally made an organza necklace..



My daughter had given me a Rose Jean Bib necklace and I loved it..still do..have not worn much jewelry these days ..but I will:) So I knew I would favor this also..So easy..Go have fun if you like this style~ I like them mixed and matched with other things:)



I bought one half meter of champagne beige organza..and used hardly any of it..I think I could make 3 necklaces with it.. you simply make the petals..as shown in the video.. and then lightly warm them w/ a lighter.. add the crinkled petals one ofn top of the other and stitch..then add an embellishment of your choice..I had champagne beige costume pearls.. then I tacked the flowers in the manner my daughter's gift to me was made on a small bib of felt..added ribbon to go around the neck and there you have it.
I love romantic jewelry~♥


You can view the tutorial here..and thank you for this tutorial:)

    This is not my style and though I have never met you, Monique but for some reason, when I saw these beautiful feminine roses, I knew they would be just right for you!

    That looks so wonderful - I may have to try and make one or two. What a great gift idea - thank you so much for sharing. Love the idea of wearing it along with pearls etc... So glad you are back into the swing of things - looks like you are creating such beauty around you as always.

    Monique, it is so gorgeous. It really is so beautiful, it just transports me to another era. You should make them and sell them.. I know I would be first in line to buy one!!! And no, I couldn't make one myself as the chronic pain does not let me do things that involve detail work anymore... But seriously, make them and sell them... They are so gorgeous!!!

    What a beautiful necklace and beautifully presented, as well. I can see this as a wedding adornment.

    I have to give this a try for holiday gifts...thanks for sharing your creativity. And your pics are breathtaking, as usual :-)

    Bravo Monique, j'ai moi aussi adoré utilisé le superbe tuto de La Mariée aux pieds Nus, j'aime beaucoup ces renoncules en voile brûlé.

    C'est très joli! J'aurais aimé le voir porté ;-) Et en ce qui concerne les magasins de tissu, en effet, ils se raréfient et c'est bien dommage!
    Bonne journée!
