"Thoroughly Modern Mommy"

a little "modern mommy" necklace that I created and wanted to share...

I just LOVE mine and thought they might make

a delightful Mother's Day gift!

I chose a large covered button as the base for the silhouette...

I covered mine in a natural linen,

I then copied the children's silhouettes (reducing the size to fit the button),

cut the silhouette and apply to the button top using Mod Podge

 (use several coats for a nice strong finish),

I then removed the button loop on the back of the button using pliers

and glued a jewelry bail to the top,

I added vintage lace and seam binding bows to the tops of the bails,

and strung them on a long antique brass chain - adding a few other beads and more vintage lace.

the Prince...

Princess #1...

and Princess #2!

and now they are with me wherever I go!

and at the end of the day in my favorite tray they lay...

my "thoroughly modern mommy" necklace!

Happy Monday!

Many Blessings!
