  Step 1

  Make a small felted ball. You will only need a very very small piece of roving. Mine was roughly 3 inches long and 2 inches wide and make sure its thin.

• 

  Step 2

  Cut about 4 inches of embroidery floss. Wrap it around your ball so the lines intersect like so. You can tie it off at the bottom, pulling a little snugly will create a nice rounded sections

• 

  Step 3

  Cut your eye pins down to the height of your thimble. You want just the head to peek out over the rim.
  Apply glue (Either Hot Glue or E6000 works) to the length of the pin and glue the pins perpendicularly to each other in the thimble. I used the pliers to place the pins in the thimble and press them to secure the glue hold. Yay tools!

  Step 4

  Apply glue around the inside of the thimble, just a centimeter or so down from the rim. Place your needle felted ball in quickly so you'll have the most time to fix any mistakes as the glue will dry quickly. Then put pins in it!

  Step 5

  Using your wire cutters, snip the link in the very center of your necklace, making it pendent ready! If you can't find the exact center just make sure that you even up the number of links on both sides.

• 

  Step 6

  Using the jump rings connect the ends of your necklace chain to the headpins in your thimble. Repeat with the other side. You now have a cute, crafty, functional necklace.

  Step 7

  Pin that!
