DIY - Bib Necklace and Giveaway (CLOSED)

My DIY skills are nowhere close to Maegan's. She's amazingly creative and talented. I'm pretty sure the crafts she brought home from Kindergarten are more astounding than what I can do now as a grown adult, but last weekend I gave some thought as to what would be easy enough for me to do. And came up with this...

 Cropped Velvet Blazer - Zara(ages ago), Belt - Vintage, Bib Necklace - DIY

Ring - Thrifted, Black 3/4 Sleeve Tee - Down East Basics

Tweed Trousers - Aritzia, Shoes - Coach

If you want to give this simple DIY a try... 

Get Yourself Some:

Ribbon, Scissors, Tweezers(for picking up small beads or flat embellishments), Glue, Glue Gun, Needle and Thread (if sewing on buttons or beading), Felt (for Front), Felt with Adhesive Backing (for Back), Buttons, Old Jewellery and Beads

You Need To:

1. Draw a bib outline or use an existing bib necklace to trace outline.

2. Cut out shape.

3. Play around with placement of beads, buttons, etc.

4. Once you're satisfied with placement, glue and/or sew beads, buttons, etc.

5. Cut two pieces of ribbon  to be used to tie around your neck. Give allowance to tie the bow.
6. Glue ribbon onto the back using glue gun.

7. Cut the adhesive felt so it's the same height as your bib necklace front felt, but wider.

8. Peel off the adhesive and place the necklace front onto the sticky side of the adhesive felt. You can move it around about but it's pretty sticky so be careful with the positioning. Once the top and bottom line up, pat down to secure.

9. Cut around adhesive felt.

Ta-dah!

 

[added more studs to fill the gaps]

I showed it to S as soon as I was done. His response: "pretty bib". And was beyond amused to learn I referred to this "craft" as a *bib necklace*. In his mind it's more *bib* than necklace. I know it's not perfect but it's made with LOVE! I made two so I wanted to pass one onto YOU, along with these stackable rings from H&M (approx. size 6/7)
