I love paper, I love rosettes, and I love anthro knock offs. Doing the happy crafter dance right now. Yesterday I showed you a recycled magazine page cross I made from by folding the heck out of magazine pages and rolling them into coils. Since then, I have thought of a ridiculous amount of things I want to do with these. Today’s project is this Anthropologie inspired rosette necklace, sure to dazzle and impress. WAY cheaper than the real thing, wouldn’t you say?!
Instructions:
- To see how the coils are made, read this post.
- Once you have your coils, figure out your design and glue them together accordingly using a hot glue gun, with a dab of glue where the coils contact one another. I highly recommend glossy accents as your glue for making the coils, as I explain in the above link, but for joining them together, glue gun works best.
- Now that the coils are connected, it is time to seal the piece with Mod Podge or Minwax Polycrylic. I apply two layers, allowing dry time in between.
- Attach your favorite chain, then enjoy!

I’m brand new to this crafty stuff, but became very excited when I ran across your blog! Thanks for the great ideas!
Silly question: How is the chain attached to the coils??
Thanks! Be blessed!
I have the coils, but am unsure about the chain. I’m not clear how you attach the chain to the coils.
