Spring Bling: Robin's Egg Necklace

Spring is in the air, and so is my need for fun, cheap accessories!  Sure you could go out and spend $20, or $30, or $40 on a cute new necklace, or you could pop into your local craft store and spend about ten bucks on supplies and about 10 minutes of your time and make your own!  This Robin's Egg necklace is the perfect Spring accessory. 

Supplies:
One strand of Beads
One yard of Ribbon
Tapestry Needle

(double your beads and ribbon if you want to make both variations of my necklace)


First:  Gather supplies 



Second:  Thread your beads onto the ribbon using the tapestry needle


Third:  Tie a pretty bow and cut the ends at an angle to decrease fraying


And BAM!  Necklace complete! 
P.S. I never said it was the most original idea.  But keep it simple and mix it up with fun Spring colors to make it your own.




If you're feeling really froggy, get yourself a coordinating ribbon (try a yard and a half, to give yourself more length options) and make another.


Dress up a plain white tee with a funky, chunky necklace... or two!
