Dreamy...how to make a necklace pendant.

Happy Monday!

I try to be positive about Mondays! 

Today I am showing you how easy it is to make a sweet embroidered pendant necklace.

"Dreamy" 

It is very easy to make!!!

Here is a new wood design from my daughter Selina....She makes wooden pendant blanks...

This is the new rectangle.  Below it is a scrap of cotton batting. 

I always glue a piece of batting to the inner part...where the design will be.

I love this quick dry glue from Aleene's. 

Just glued on ...cut any batting that hangs over the edge. 

All glued..let dry.

I typed up some words on the computer...in some different fonts...I liked this one.

Here is the word dreamy so you can just copy and save this if you like. 

Using a light box or a sunny window....place the word under some cool fabric.

Trace the word using a blue disappearing marker.

I placed the word in between some of the wilder area of the print. 

All hooped up and ready to stitch...I couldn't decide what color to use...but finally picked a green color. 

This took me a few minutes...so easy and fast.

I then rinsed the blue marker away with water and let dry.

I then placed the design over the inner rectangle....then put the outer rectangle over the fabric design....press down.  

I am cutting the excess fabric on the back down to 1/4" around the entire rectangle.

All cut 

Now I glue the edge to the back.

Top and bottom...

Then sides...

I cut out a piece of felt...big enough to cover the inner rectangle.

Add glue... 

Place on the back and press down. 

I decided to add a little wool heart and a small gold safety pin!

Stop by her shop sometime....these are some of her other shapes...plus she has more!
