Bubblegum and Candy - D.I.Y. Statement Necklace
This is a necklace I've made myself.
Striped beads in two sizes and three different colors alternated with silver "dotted" beads stringed with 3 equivalent colors of organza.
If you are interested in making a statement necklace like this for yourself, here's a quick run down:
You need:
- 5-6 large colored beads
- 2 equal smaller colored beads
- 6 silver (or gold) beads
- 3 different colored, 1cm large & 50cm long stripes of organza (sheer) fabric
You do:
- Pre arrange the beads in the order you want to string them.
- Take the three stripes of fabric tightly together. I piled them onto a needle to help with the stringing process.
- Start stringing up the beads. I started with the middle one and worked outwards to achieve a uniform result
- Make a tight, bead hugging simple knot between each bead you add
- Rinse & repeat until done
- Voila, you have a sparkling new funky and shiny statement necklace
This week I used it to accessorize a black button down shirt paired with a grey short pullover/jumper.
