Hello everyone! I am really honored to be posting my first project as part of the lovely May Arts DT!  I am having a great time and the other girls are FABULOUS so please go show them some love if you havent already!

Onto my project!!! I wanted to create something for those times when a birthday you have forgotten or an occasion arises that you need a small gift, hope you like it!

You will need:

• A small tin box, altoid boxes work great if you want to paint them or if not you can find them online just about anywhere!

• A large loop chain necklace with clasp

• Brads or other embellishment for the center of your flowers

• Felt for backing your flowers

• Hot glue

• May Arts ribbons SK01, SK10

• Patterned paper, button, tag or other embellishments you want for top of box

• Flower dies and circle dies

Instructions:

• Add the patterned paper to top of box, trim, add embellishments

• Cut out three circles from felt, two, small in same size, one larger

• Cut out approximately 30 flowers from the 1.5in. Silk May Arts ribbon

• Fold flowers in half and then half again, glue to felt with points into the center of the circle

• Glue one flower cut out on top of the layers and add embellishment to center

• Repeat with other two flowers

• Position all three flowers in V shape and glue to another strip of felt, trim around flowers

• Adhere ¼ silk ribbon that has been folded in the center to make a V between layers of felt,  leaving 3-4 in. tails on both sides with the V point inside the felt. Allow to dry

• Using the ¼ ribbon, tie each end to chain after removing one link to allow the necklace to open into a long strip of chain.

• Enjoy!
