rustic necklaces tutorial


 this is the first necklace i made.  its pretty much just a compilation of things that Ive found.  i think my favorite part is the bottle cap that i found on the street.
 i really love the flowers on this.  i have never made a necklace with fabric flowers before.  i think it looks cute.  i love owls so i had to put an owl on there. haha

 this is the second necklace i made.  i was sooo inspired that i decided to make another one! haha and because i had left over materials :)
 for these copper charms i mod podged a feather and some sheet music to them so they wouldn't be so plain
 as charms i used an old buckle i took off of one of my belts and an old house key.  to make the key look a little distressed i used toll paint and covered it when mod podge when it dried.

 i used copper charms that i found at Hobby Lobby and i punched holes in them with this nifty hole puncher thing that i also found at Hobby Lobby...i love that store!!!  anyway, its really easy to use and it was really cheap too!
for the flowers i hot glued them onto the copper charms that i punched holes into and i tied them together.
