sheets and stockings

hooray for upcycling!!
 

for the necklace, i cut open a leg of a pretty, watermelony mesh stocking into a 3cm wide strip and as long as i wanted (about 40cm). i encased large, faceted plastic crystal beads in the stocking, wrapping the fabric around each bead then sectioning them off with soft wire or sewing thread.

the flower brooch is made of 10 equal circles of happy, floral flannel sheet; leave one circle flat, fold the next circle into quarters to form a triangle, then stich or hot glue to the base circle. continue folding the circles and overlap them to form the petals. attach a button in the centre and a brooch pin on the back.
