Autumn competition at Hobbyportal. Part 2/4. Dame of Spades

Necklace Dame of Spades

Halloween is still not much known holiday in former Soviet republics so it was not very easy to carry out a competition for it on a Russian site. Yet I think the works became quite interesting and creative.

One of my works was the necklace “Dame of Spades” (after the famous opera and Pushkin’s work)

I used the cotton yarn (100 gr =ca 600m), crochet 1.5, a metal chain, old earrings and a part from a broken ring

.

Take the round piece from the (broken) ring and start crochet around it.

Hide the ends f the threads and hang the beads/parts of the earrings on the flower:

Sew the upper part of the flower to the black satin ribbon. Decorate with beads:

Crochet two smaller flowers:

Place and then sew the smaller flowers to the ribbon:

With the help of small metal join rings hang the parts of the earrings/beads on the necklace:

Sew the metal parts of the lock to the both ends of hte ribbon, decorate with beads:

Ready for the ball:
