Materials:
- 2 inches by 2.2 yards of cloth
- 30 strand yarn
- 0.8-inch diameter button
- white glue
- filler
Instructions:
Step 1:
Fold the fabric in half lengthwise then sew the edges with a 0.2-inch allowance. Once done, pull the right side out.
Step 2:
Get a 30-strand yarn and insert it into the sewn fabric. Then cut the excess. Fold it in half and measure 9.8 inches from both ends and mark. Next, fold the middle into three equal parts.
Step 3:
Do a 3 strand braid technique from the first mark until the second mark. Pull out the yarn from one end and measure 2 inches, then cut it. Fold the edges of the fabric inward, then fold again in half lengthwise. Sew the fold for about an inch. Once done, fold it then sew the edges for the hook of the button.
Step 3:
Get some fabric scraps, buttons, fillers, and glue. Put some glue on the button and stick some filler on top. Cover it with the fabric scrap and close tightly. Sew to secure. Once done, cut the excess fabric. Pull out the yarn from the other end and cut 0.8 inches off. Fold the edges inward then insert the button and secure using a needle and thread. There you have it, a beautiful fabric statement necklace.
