DIY Carnation Necklace

DIY Carnation Necklace

Hi lovelies! Let’s join me making a lovely and adorable project that you will love it. I believe some of you may or may not know that certain flowers symbolise somebody’s birth. It has a reason why specific flower represents specific month. As of today, I want to start this project with the first month, which is January. 

Carnation is believed to symbolise someone’s birth in January. January is a cold and gloomy month, but in some non-frozen areas, many flowers will bloom beautifully and carnation is one of them. It symbolises admiration, deep love,  and affection. Therefore, this project is perfect for you who wants to make a special gift for someone’s birthday in January. Without further do, let’s make it!

 Firstly, download the given pattern above. You can use this pattern as stated above. Mine was colored digitally and printed on the printable shrink plastic.

Then start cutting the pattern with a sharp scissor.

 Place it in the oven, don’t forget to put something like baking paper or silicone mat under the plastic to avoid sticking and other issues.

Note: color the plastic with lighter shades because the color becomes saturated after shrinking!

When every piece has shrunk, let’s assemble them. I used UV resin as a glue to stick each piece together.

Attach the hair, veil, and gloves to the body.

Lastly, attach the hair bun on the back. Then, the Cinderella is ready for the party 😉
