DIY: rosette lanyard

My older sister recently received a lanyard from the college that she'll be attending in the fall { :'( } and she loves using it.  However, the navy blue canvas with chunky white letters doesn't really match her flowery, vintage style.  So I decided to make her a fun, feminine lanyard, and it was much easier than I expected!

Supplies

• 1 yd of lanyard material of your choice (the section in Joanns with all the frills and ruffles on spools is great!)
• split ring or "D" ring
• thread to match material
• basic sewing supplies

This tutorial is so simple, you hardly need pics.  But here you go:)

(The material that I chose is little rosettes sewn onto the mesh.  The mesh measured about 4 inches wide, so I hand stitched it so that it is hardly visible under the rosettes.)

Place the ring on the end of your material and fold it over about 3/4".

Place the other end on top and fold over 3/4".  (Make sure that the material is not twisted and will lie flat on your neck)

Depending on the strength, sew two or three straight lines, making sure to catch all of the material.  And you are finished!
