Over the past year or so I have seen a trend in jewelry of mixing pearls with floral brooches. I think they look pretty sweet and would like to note that I wore a necklace similar to these back when I was 6 or 7. Clearly I was ahead of the trend then.

I decided to make my own necklace modeled after this style.

I bought faux pearls from Michael’s craft store and used a pair of clip on earrings that my grandmother had given me a few years back.

I am the first to admit that this necklace isn’t perfect but I made it myself. There are many things that you can do yourself, and with my newly installed craft desk, I hope to post more often about things I have done myself. And hopefully they give you some inspiration and ideas for your own DIY projects.
