Leftover buttons turned into a fashionable necklace

Little jacket

Another piece of my home-made collection: a small jacket made of cotton lace. Here is the pattern I used to make it: pailletten-jacke-fledermausaermel-burda-style-07-2011
This is a very easy pattern. Just two pieces and it took only one evening to finish it. I am thinking of making another one maybe from jersey...
