Sizzix Fresh Vintage Blog Hop Fringe Flower

Welcome to the Sizzix Fresh Vintage blog hop this is the 2nd hop of 12; every Tuesday and Thursday for the next 6 weeks, one of the 12 dies in Eileen Hull's collection will be featured. I am thrilled that Eileen asked me to participate in showcasing her new Sizzix dies and can't wait  to check out what everyone else has done with these dies.  

The feature die for today is the Fringe Flower Die
I created a necklace using Fabric and 
Velcro Brand Sticky Back Adhesives 
so that you can make several different flowers 
and change them out as desired.

Here is a close up of the flower pendant....
To make the Flower Pendant Necklace here are the supplies you will need:



Supplies needed that are not pictured: Fabric Stiffener, Darice Bail Mount and a Brad


Cut 6 layers of fabric, I used Halloween Fabric...

Put all 18 layers through brad as shown.

Close Brad up in the back, then dip fabric flower into
Fluff up flower on top side and let dry, 
occasionally re-fluffing as needed.

 When the flower is dry

to the back of the flower and one side of the bail.

Slide bail onto Darice Ribbon Necklace


Place the flower onto the bail....
Remember to make several flowers so you can 
change them out on the necklace as desired.
To view the hop you can click on the Fresh Vintage blinkie on the left of my sidebar.

This will take you around to all of the designers on the hop. 

Be sure to stop by and visit the
 Oh MY Craft blog 
 and leave a comment for a chance to win a die!
