DIY Fresh Flower Necklace: Step-by-Step Guide

Quick answer

Use the Huckleberry Make Your Own Fresh Flower Necklace kit to create a wearable floral piece in minutes. Pick sturdy flowers, lace their stems through the genuine leather cord, and secure the magnetic copper closure.

How to make your fresh flower necklace

1. Pick your flowers and leaves: Choose fresh flowers or leaves with long, thick stems—daisies, roses, or eucalyptus work well. Avoid delicate stems that might snap when threaded. Stems should be at least 3 inches long for easy lacing.
2. Trim the stems: Cut stems at a 45-degree angle about 1 inch below the bloom. This helps the flower absorb water and stay fresh longer while you wear it. Do not cut too short; you need enough length to thread through the necklace.
3. Lace the stems through the necklace: Open the magnetic closure and thread each stem through the leather cord. Space the flowers evenly around the necklace. A common mistake is bunching them all in one spot. Lace stems one at a time to keep the arrangement balanced.
4. Secure the closure: Once all stems are laced, bring the two ends of the necklace together and let the magnetic copper closure snap shut. Test that it holds firmly before wearing. If the magnet feels weak, check that no stem is caught between the magnets.
5. Wear and refresh: Put on your necklace and enjoy it for the day. Flowers will last several hours. To refresh, remove the old blooms and replace with new ones. Store the necklace flat in a cool place between uses to preserve the leather.
