A sustainable way to make a flare shoulderpiece.
This shoulderpiece is quit easy to do,I saw something similar on etsy and give it a try,it´s wearable with practically everything,you decide the shape and how many chains it will have,the butterfly I use it´s from an old belt,the chains are remainings of necklaces bracelets,e.t.c.,If you want use brooches or something else,have fun!

The weigt and shape of the main piece mantains the whole thing going!,but rarely it falls,this is practically all about weights.
