How to Make a Felt Raindrops Necklace - No Sew!

what you need:

scissors
glue
awl
felt
pretty fabric
ready made chain

cut some strips of felt in different lengths

mine are about 3/4 inch wide

and my longest strip is 6 inches

then cut your fabric into strips to match the felt ones

just make them a little smaller =)

we want a small, felt border at the top & bottom ends of the strips

next, fold your strips over & glue the top n' bottom up - like above

now you should have lots of pretty drops!

Arrange the drops untill you're happy with the design,

then grab your awl and punch a hole in the tops of your drops

it's much easier to punch holes in felt, which is why we left the border earlier on =)

once all your drops have been punched, glue the tops of each drop together.

you should have a channel for your chain to slip through =)

an easy way to get your chain through,

is to thread a needle & pass it through the channel you made

making sure to keep hold of both ends of the loose threads

then hook your thread around a link in your chain.

push the needle back through the hole,

and holding both ends of your thread, pull & the chain will follow through =)

You're finished!

(^_^)

I made these in the same way, just using heavy weight cotton instead.

the felt version is sooo much easier though! =D

I hope you had fun & learned something new!

happy making ma loves =)

see you soon!
