FEATHER BIB NECKLACE

Remember Kourtney Kardashian rockin' this Camille K feather bib necklace in this post? Well, they done messed up now, cuz Imma make this.

Let's see, I have felt, black turkey feathers, (from old DIY project), and I have black ribbon.

I used a pattern from my previous project and pinned it to the felt and cut it out.

I did a dry run and placed the feathers on the felt before I glued them.

Before gluing the feathers, I laid them out according to size. I put the longest feathers at the bottom and hot glued the first feather in the center.

Continued gluing row after row. Be careful to not get the hot glue strings on the feathers.

Added rhinestones to cover the tip of the feather quills.

Finished the look with black ribbons.

Can't wait to rock it!

Looks expensive right?

DIY RHINESTONE BIB NECKLACE

Bib necklaces are the perfect accessory with anything.  Worn with a simple T-shirt or a party dress, they make a big statement.

This Blu Bijoux Crystal Encrusted bib necklace is available here for $45 from max and chloe.com.

currently sold out

 This one is available on Ebay for $108.99

How about we make our own. I went to Hobby Lobby and bought a container of clear rhinestones for $15.99 but with the 40% off coupon, the price was only $9.00. I had E6000 super glue and a hot glue gun and left over black felt.

 Before I started gluing, I laid the rhinestones on the felt to create a pattern.

Satisfied with this pattern, I traced it with chalk and took a picture of the pattern, so I could replicate it when it's time to glue.

I cut out the felt and glued on the rhinestones. Be careful not to get the wispy strings from the hot glue on the rhinestones.

 I cut (2) 14 inch pieces of ribbon and sewed them on each side. Remember to cut off the excess felt around the rhinestones.

VOILA!

Looks just as good as the one on Ebay!
