Peanut Allergy Necklace for Girls

I have a Little Lady with a Peanut Allergy.  We are a peanut/nut free house but since she's only 2, I knew I needed to either buy or make a peanut allergy medical alert necklace.  So I made these cute bottle cap necklaces, and wanted to make them inexpensive for other Little Ladies with peanut allergies.  They are only $4.50 plus shipping.  They'd make a great gift for any little girl with a peanut allergy.  Check them out at my shop .

Door Hanging Initial Tutorial

    Hi!  I'm a total Pinterest addict!  I love everything from DIY, recipes, crafts, etc.  I also co-lead crafts for our Moms group (like MOPS).  My friend Stacy and I love to come up with fun crafts and Pinterest has made it much easier to get ideas from.  I had pinned this and we thought it would be perfect for our next craft day. It didn't have a tutorial so I came up with my own and want to share it with you!    Things you will need:  A 13 inch mdf or wooden letter  burlap muslin or linen acrylic paint floral berries, flowers, buttons for embellishment hot glue sandpaper

Most of our items were purchased at Hobby Lobby (♥ that store)!  

Take your Letter and paint the front and sides.  I used acrylic paint.

Next, you need to figure out how you want to hang it.  Some letters are easier than others :)  Having a last name with a "J" was a little tricky but I think it turned out nice.  Some letters you can simply wrap the burlap around the top.

 

I folded a piece of burlap and hot glued the ends on the back of my letter.  Then I took a piece of muslin and put it through the loop on top.

Then came the fun part, embellishing! 

I made a simple bow (just tied a knot) with a wide stripe of burlap and then hot glued it to the burlap attached to my letter.

Next, I hot glued some floral berries to the burlap and made sure that my rosettes would cover the bottom of them.

Then I made rosettes and hot glued them on.

I sanded the edges to get a distressed look and then added a few more rosettes to the bottom of the J also.

 

  Here's the finished craft!
