I made the patchwork necklace out of small fabric samples. After picking out the colors I wanted, I took a pair of pinking shears sawtooth edge sewing scissors (which you can buy here) and cut three scallops on the bottom edge of each fabric square. After sewing the fabrics together in an arc, I sewed black ribbon on both ends of the necklace which allows the necklace to tie beautifully at the back! This petal effect creates a scallop collar that you can add to any outfit. I chose a more neutral palette because my fabric samples were limited to that, but if you choose to use bright and patterned fabric this necklace will definitely turn heads!

Bracelets made by me!

I love the bracelets from Aurelie Bidermann and Giles and Brother. They really bring a piece of childhood back to our lives. I love the texture of a bracelet that has metal or a thick curb chain with friendship bracelet string.

I've made quite a couple bracelets and I'm selling them through my blog:

Braided Curb Chain Bracelets: $10
Bolt Bracelets (Neon yellow or white): $8

Either leave a comment or email me at wanglisa@umich.edu on the specific bracelet number you want from the photos below!
