  Step 1

  Here are the goods I started out with - it's really easiest if you buy wood circles with the holes pre-drilled. I like easy things, such as instant hot chocolate, reality television and my wood pre-drilled. I'm a simple woman.

• 

  Step 2

  Paint your circles with a color that corresponds to your paper. Mine is FolkArt Turner Pink. Allow to dry.

• 

  Step 3

  This is the fun part (besides the Podging). Tear three circles out of one of your sheets of scrapbook paper. This tear-and-crumple idea was inspired by Cathie & Steve, by the way - I actually saw them do this at CHA and loved it!

• 

  Step 4

  Hear I am crumpling. You need to do this with each of the three circles - crumple tightly and then smooth out.

• 

  Step 5

  Here's where you use the Mod Podge. Paint each crumpled "flower" with a few coats of the Podge and watch it glitter. Allow to dry.

• 

  Step 6

  I started placing my other embellishments at this time to see what they would look like - one thing I did was use a second sheet of the paper and my scalloped punch to make some shapes for right over the flower bud. Start gluing down with the tacky glue.

• 

  Step 7

  Time to stick the flowers to the circles! Put a glob of Mod Podge in the center of each circle and then stick the flower to it. Allow to dry.
  TIP: Don't glue the flower over the hole in the wood circle! You are going to need that part to hang onto the necklace chain.

• 

  Step 8

  Finally, glue down the buttons in the center of the flowers. I layered two buttons in the center and love the effect. Attach the circles to the chain with the jump rings and then attach the clasp. Voila! You now have a very spiffy, very unique necklace to wear. If you are a V-Day purist, use heart papers.
