Pom pom necklace

Before our trip to Italy, I made my own pom pom necklace! I could use one of these in every color!


I saw it on Little Miss Momma and followed her directions - it's a great tutorial. It was very easy and I had everything on hand. Instead of buying or using any of my fabric, I used a freebie t-shirt. You know... when you end up getting a shirt for being at an event or something and usually its an XL. Well why not make use of it.

I made 13 gray t-shirt circles for each pom pom. I ended up having to use an extra section of felt glued onto the back because it seemed too flimsy. Although it is holding up just find, I think next time I will use something beside felt... maybe chalk cloth since that would be a tad sturdier.

Here is what it looks like again on.


It really adds a fun accessory / embellishment to your outfit! And it doesn't hurt when you have a cute husband next to you :)  So put down the mouse, get your craft on and make one!
