These gerbera daisies are so lovely, you just want to have one on you at all times. So why not make a necklace with not one but three of these gorgeous Gerrondos!

Follow these easy step-by-step instructions to make this fabulous gerbera daisy flower necklace.

Gerbera daisy flower necklace instructions

1. Decide on the size you want your necklace to be, and then cut out a base from a piece of cardboard. Attach the material you plan to use as the “chain” for your necklace. I used a 12-gauge aluminum wire in silver. I threaded it through the corrugated cardboard and bent the ends back up behind the cardboard. You could also use ribbon or a jewelry style chain.

2. Cover the cardboard with flat foliage leaves using either glue dots/dashes, floral adhesive, or hot glue. (Visit this page for more information on various types of adhesive.)

3. Cut the stems off the gerberas and attach them to the foliage base with one of the adhesives.

4. You can add clusters of smaller flowers the same way that you would when making a floral crown, by wrapping the clusters and gluing them to the base.

Above all, use your imagination, and just have fun with it!

Our series “Get Crafty” gives you the inspiration for creating inventive DIY projects during the holidays and year-round. Lifestyle and floral expert Julie Mulligan teaches you how to make a pendant flower necklace with a little bit of “biker babe” flair.

The beauty of designing your own jewelry is that you can make it fit your unique personality or style — from soft and feminine to bold and dramatic. Even if your vibe is “biker babe,” there’s a piece of flower jewelry for you…like this pendant flower necklace!

Instructions for pendant flower necklace

1. Start with a corded single capiz shell necklace.

2. Layer multiple pieces of flat leaf foliage (such as eucalyptus) to create a round shape. Secure with uGlue® dashes.

3. Cut the stem off a single gerbera daisy, as close to the flower as possible. Make a glue dash in the center of the leaf foliage and press the flower down.

4. Attach the flower and foliage to the shell using uGlue®. I find that the flower sits better on the back of the shell than the front, so feel free to turn it over.

Final step: Wear your custom jewelry at work, home, or around town, and wait for the compliments to roll in!

Orchids are some of the most beautiful and fragrant flowers around. So what better way to accessorize yourself than with an elegant orchid necklace?!

Read on to learn how make one of these stunning pieces.

What you need:

• UGlu® Dashes
• Mini cymbidium orchids
• Pendant on a long chain

How to make an orchid necklace

1. I chose this necklace because it had a hole in the middle of the flower pendant. Each piece you work with will be slightly different, so you’ll need to decide the best course of action as you’re creating your piece. Here, I simply put a UGlu® Dash on the back of the pendant.

2. Remove the paper from the glue dash and snip a single mini cymbidium orchid from the main stem, leaving as much stem as possible on the individual orchid.

3. Insert the stem through the opening and gently press against the glue dash.

It’s the perfect touch when you’re feeling fresh, fun, and flirty!
