All of my Studio Ghibli hoops.
Soot Sprites, No-Face, Totoro, Catbus, Calcifer, and Kodamas!
Always looking for suggestions to make new ones, obviously I’m more partial to the Ghibli creatures than the people. :)
Cheong-ah Hwang uses paper to make cool three-dimensional sculptures.
The artist likes to create art from paper because it is versatile and people use this material every day.

step 2 - sew both of the open ends shut
step 3 - cut a thin strip, sew it inside out longways
step 4 - turn both pieces right side out, then sew the long skinny piece into a loop - picture shown
step 5 - shove the square into the loop, and you have a bow! now make 2 more
necklace:
step 6 -cut a 20 inch, 24 inch, and 28 inch piece of chain with needle-nose
step 7 - take one bow and one chain. glue each end of chain to each end of bow, so that you have three separate necklaces
step 8 - as shown, glue each strand into a button at the back of the necklace so that they stay right-side up, in the right order, and at the right lengths
there you have it!
(notice the gingham, of course)
