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!
