Downeast Basics Inspired Petal Necklace  

Today we will be making a Downeast Basics inspired necklace for less than $1.00...yup you read that right LESS THAN ONE DOLLAR!! 

Here's my inspiration and how to make it yourself:

Cute right!

Step One: Supplies

I don't know about you but I go though accessories faster than clothes so I always have old necklaces etc lying around. I grabbed this old necklace and a pack of artificial flower petals from the Target dollar section.

Step Two:

Since my necklace had a 2nd chain I carefully opened one of the rings and removed it to put the petals on.

Step Three:

Use a craft knife to cut a little "x" in the center(ish) of your flower and string onto your necklace.

Step Four:

 Every third flower fold in half before cutting your "x" and string on still folded.

 Step Five:

Continue pattern until finished! I used 17 petals.

(50 petals in pack for $1.00 - 17 Petals used = 34 Cents Total!!!)

 I re-attached the top chain and Voila!
