I’ve been sharing jewelry projects that I’m referring to as “glue and go” ones this month. The purpose of these projects are to build your confidence in jewelry making and to build your jewelry making supply stash, two of the things that I’ve found to be the most challenging when it comes to jewelry projects. Today I’m sharing crafting with flower cabochons. My first introduction with flower cabochons was when I started blogging, and my sweet friend Kadie from Seven Alive sent me a lovely necklace and earring set. I still have and wear the set, and you’ll actually get to see the pieces today. Flower cabochons are the perfect glue and go jewelry embellishments because you, well, glue them on and go. It doesn’t get much easier than that. I’ve made 4 Flower Cabochon Projects today that can be coordinated for a great gift.
Supplies needed for all 4 projects (some affiliate links included):
- Glue- a jewelry glue or, if you’re out, some good ol’ Krazy Glue
- Flower Cabochons– I order mine from Amazon or Pick Your Plum when they are available
- Earring posts
- 1″ Pendant Trays– I’ve included a link to some that I found on Amazon, but I’ve only ordered mine from Pick Your Plum in the past. These on Amazon look similar.
- Necklace chains
- Bookmark Clips– again, I received mine in a Pick Your Plum grab box, but these on Amazon look like they would do the trick, as well.
- Hair Pins with Blanks- {Here} is a link to ones that look like mine, but check out these fancy ones that have a cabochon setting!
Flower cabochons come in various sizes, colors, and flower versions. I typically get an assortment. Unless I’m doing earrings, I like the larger flowers and the chrysanthemum style, but that’s just personal preference. Be sure that whatever one you order has a flat back so that it adheres firmly to the jewelry notions.
Flower Cabochon Necklaces
The necklaces can be made a few different ways. My friend Kadie sent me one that had a large flower cabochon that she had glued to a jewelry Bail Pendant Mount. Here is a photo of the exact necklace that she sent me.
For me, I’ve been making them with these 1″ charm pendants. I received a batch of these in a Pick Your Plum grab box but needed a realistic idea on what to do with them. I tried using Mod Podge to apply a photo inside, but the photos were so small that it really didn’t look nice. The large flower cabochons did the trick!
Simple use the glue to adhere the cabochon to the charm. Add a chain and done!
Flower Cabochon Earrings
For the earrings, you’ll need two of the same earrings, two earring posts, and glue.
Just glue and go!
Flower Cabochon Paperclips
Grab the paperclips, glue, and medium size flower cabochons.
Flower Cabochon Hair Pins
This quick craft needs glue, hair pins with a flat blank, and flower cabochon in size and color of choice.
These could be coordinated for a flower themed Christmas present for yourself or someone else!

These are stunning and I love how easy they are! These would make some great last minute gifts this holiday season!
I love the look with the copper colored round paper clips! Can I ask where I can find those?
Thank you! 🙂

Hi, I ordered them from Pick Your Plum, one of those daily deal websites.
