If you don't have anything to go with that favorite outfit for that special occasion, then make this gorgeous, bold statement necklace and have everyone envious when they see this beauty. Rhinestones are glued to felt that's then cut out twice and glued together with ribbon ties between making this a darling wearable craft. So grab your rhinestones, felt, ribbon, E6000 glue, tacky glue, and scissors and you could be making this necklace in less than an hour.

Lay out your stones on the felt in different ways to come up with a design you like. I combined different shades of green from light to dark, to create this pattern. I liked this look best and glued the stones on the felt using E6000. Once the glue dried I glued on another piece of felt to the first one for additional backing strength using tacky glue. It probably would have been easier to glue the felt together first before adding the stones, but I didn't realize how flimsy the felt was at first.
After drying, I cut out the felt backing around the shape of the stones, leaving an opening between the two felt pieces on either end for the ribbon ties.
Ribbon ties were then glued between the two pieces of felt that was left open on either side.
