diy necklace that i DID! :)

so many times, i read craft blogs and think "that's cool. i should make that!" .....and then i never do.


well, guess what?! i finally DID make something that i found on a blog! 


here's the blog. check it.


yesterday was kind of like a holiday, because of the superbowl.  i'm probably one of the only wisconsinites that didn't tune in (at least i felt that way when i heard neighbors in my building all cheering at the same time). i know, i feel kind of like a cheater since i live in packer country. oh well. i'm not a football person!


so, i watched a movie ("precious", in case you were wondering - intense!) instead.


and i dug around in my craft basket to find appropriate material. i found a shirt that i love the pattern on, but just didn't fit anymore. it wasn't cotton, so i wasn't sure how well it would work. but it was pretty! so, i also dug out  a really old black long sleeved tshirt from my freshman year of college. 


i layered the circles alternating fabrics. seemed to work pretty well. here's my finished product:

i'm not quite sure how my shirt ended up looking blue-ish in the pics...it's actually black!

what do you think?
