Well, I decided to give it a try today and make my own twist on this awesome craft idea!!! I want to share what I came up with! BTW, this project is EXTREMELY EASY! It took me 5 minutes with each one (with my addition)!! All you need for my version is fabric and embroidery hoops, tacky glue, scissors, some sort of embellishment (I used primitive style small wooden signs) + a glue gun! I used the tacky glue for the fabric and the glue gun to put the signs onto the fabric! I used all the steps in Purl Bee’s tutorial so head on over after reading this post and try a few of your own! They look so awesome on my wall!

Here is my finished products (!!!!):

#ETSY Find of the Day: Dandelion Seed Orb Necklace #Style #Fashion #Jewelry

This is a must-have for me!!! Who doesn’t love dandelions especially when they go to seed! Some of my favorite childhood memories are picking fluffs of dandelions and blowing them into the wind & watching them float away! This necklace has a pendant with dandelion seeds set in resin! Right now the store is on vacation but, this item should be up for purchase when they return! You can sign up for updates on Natural Pretty Things ETSY store to find out when they are selling again!!!
