Trendy Crafter: Fabric flower

The next challenge for the Trendy Crafter challenge is: Create a fabric flower and use it in another creation. I’ve created a fabric flower necklace. We also need to include a tutorial on how we did this, but I’m lame and accidentally deleted all my tutorial photos!!! I do have the first photo and the end result photo.

Ta da!
