Something that I've been dying to make is a ribbon and pearl necklace; more specifically an orange ribbon and pearl necklace to wear to Clemson Football game days! So off I run to my craft boxes to see what I can find.
I come up with some (craft) pearls and heavy duty thread that I used 2 years ago to make a pearl necklace that I could wear that wouldn't get destroyed by Charlottes grabbing hands during feeding time. I did not find any orange ribbon (boo), but I did come away with some polyester pink sheer-ish 3/8ths in ribbon.
It'll do. Besides, I need practice anyway, right?
I went for one of the zig-zag deals and came up with this:
And for a close up...
And here's me rocking my new necklace. By the way, I'm not gonna lie... that ribbon is REALLY itchy.
Keep an eye out later this week; I've already been to the store and gotten my satin orange ribbon! I'll take pictures and post some sort of tutorial! (Tutorial Here)
