You didn't believe the title?! Well it's true.
You are looking at my newest creation - The bra pad necklace a.k.a Steam punk galore. The latter sounds more refined but the essential material is a bit raw.
Many bras usually come with pads which if you don't use, can be fabulously repurposed. The filling inside is already covered and serged so these pads open a whole new field of alternative use.
For this project you need two (or three pads). As you see I got rid of the black one.
Join both pads by sewing them together at the back. Next, let your imagination free and dive into your stash of beads, ribbons, sequins, buttons and such! Work on the design by combining the lot. I used my woolen beads, one of my carnations (I have a ton of those) a piece of tulle.
Take a metal chain, sew it behind and there you go!
Lovely isn't it?
But do come tomorrow.
I also made a bracelet (and/or a choker). Showing it tomorrow.

This is so interesting. I never would have guessed. It's really lovely.
Creative! - Funny too - today I was just going through my lingere drawer and pulled out all these pads to throw out! It seems like such a waste! You have given me something to think about!!
You made me have a big smile:) It is lovely and funny! I love that!
This is just as cool as the wire one! Great work.

Absolutely amazing and a very great tip. I love the colour combination on this piece and the pompom flower.
Very very cool! And the fact it's made out of bra pads just made it 10 times cooler! Your stuff is beautiful! I just stopped by from the Crazy Train!
I never would have guess those were bra pads! Great job!

Fascinators you say, ...hm...! Sounds attractive!
