DYI Necklace

I recently viewed a blog that was having a giving away from one of their sponsors, which can be viewed  here.  I thought that necklace was adorable and got to thinking that I could try to make my own. So here it goes.

I started with a needle and some thread.

Then I threaded it through the beads and the ribbon, alternating the ribbon up and down as I went.

Then I added a different color ribbon to the end.

I used clear nail polish on the ends of the ribbon to make sure it wouldn't fray.

I think it turned out nicely, but as you can see it was hard to keep the ribbon consistent throughout, around some of the beads it is longer than on others. However, I did get better the more I did it.

Then I did another one with black and gold beads and a black ribbon.

The finished products! What do you think?

You can do it yourself too!
