I LOVE to wear necklaces and earrings in the summer!
It's a great way to add some color to plain jeans and t shirt day
BUT
I hate heavy bulky stuff, especially in the heat :-/
I found the perfect solution!
A Fabric Braided Necklace
Here's how to make one for yourself :
SUPPLIES :
Chain
clasp
2 jump rings
Yummy colored fabric of choice
{three strips of each color}
end clasps {as pictured}
HOW TO :
pick one of your fabric colors
pinch or tie a knot in the end of it and secure it to something
{you can safety pin it onto something or I pinch it between my toes...lol}
after you have braided that piece add your clasp to each end
Repeat with all colors
now you can add your chain
I wanted these to be one necklace
so I put it on the peach first and then 7 links up I added a jump ring and added the Blue fabric
Simple as that - your done!
Easy, light weight, fun, colorful and cute!
{i was going to use all three colors but I liked it simpler with just the two}
I am linking up this tutorial to these great blogs found HERE!
so pretty! I love the colors you chose!
