The one where I make a Yarn-Bombed Antler Necklace


















I saw several of these cool, colourful necklaces being worn at Bloggers Connecting earlier in the year. It turned out they were made by Melissa at The Best Nest  following an Always Rooney tutorial. I mentally pinned it, then this week my brain spat out a yarn-bombed antler necklace light bulb when I was thinking hard about what to make for a friends birthday after a wasted hour with two bored kids in uninspiring, expensive gift shops.

They are dead easy so if you have half a mind you'd like one just go do it. It's just fimo, jump rings, chain, embroidery yarn and glue. I had everything but the jump rings in my stash so it cost me all of 20c to make this!


***OR you can buy them here (made in ceramic, with the colours of your choice, and VERY inexpensively ) from the Always Rooney Etsy shop


It feels good to be stretching the creative muscle again.
