There’s a subscription DIY company called For The Makers, and they have some pretty intriguing craft ideas I’ve never tried. One was this fantastic necklace.

You start out with several foil disks, and you actually sew them together with a needle and thread to form a flower. You sew seed and bugle beads into the center.

I made three flowers. Shiny, shiny gold flowers!

Add chain and thread the ribbon through. And there we have a necklace.

It’s a charming thing, and bold. It was also a pleasure to make something that I haven’t tried before.

What’s the last project you made?
