You probably wouldn’t think to look in your sewing kit for all the makings of a jewelry project; I know I wouldn’t. Lucky for us, Laura from The Wind and The Sail did think of it! The resulting necklace is a squeal-worthy miniature flower pot made from a thimble and some sewing pins with colored heads. It’s a perfect project for spring and with Mother’s Day on the horizon it’s something to seriously consider putting on your to-do list. The directions do call for drilling a small hole in the thimble; if you don’t have a drill or you’re uncomfortable with power tools, you could glue a hasp to the back of the thimble instead. [how to make a thimble necklace]
Project estimate:
- Thimble, on hand
- Straight pins with colored heads, on hand or $1 and up
- Thread, on hand
- Hot glue, on hand
- Drill, on hand
- Jump ring, on hand
- Chain, string, or ribbon, on hand
Total: Free and up

A jewel after my own heart! I think this is the cutest thing I’ve seen in forever. Possibly longer!

I love this idea, although I didn’t make mine as a necklace, but a fridge magnet. This post gave me the inspiration to make my magnet, so I wanted to be sure to give you credit for the idea.

I have my grandmothers thimble she brought to the US with her in the early 1900’s when she came here from Holland — Now I now have a great idea of what to do with it. THanks for sharing!!
