Here are pictures of the items I made using our Base & Bling Jewelry Necklace

I started with a Teal velvet that I found at a yard sale last summer.  

Then added the Pink and Teal accents along with the Metal flowers.

 Here I did the same but added purple instead of the pink accents.

 Here are the Hair clips one in Pink and one in Purple.  I also added different metal accents.

I purchased these hair combs a while back and thought it would be fun to play with them while I was working with the Base & Bling.
