Ten June Love

Hey!  Today was a good day.  One of my DIY projects was featured on one of my favorite blogs...

Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout! 

Remember this....

Robin's Egg Necklace

Michelle over at Ten June included my lovely necklace in her DIY Easter Project Round Up.  She also features several other adorable Easter projects that can definitely be finished in time for the weekend. 

 If you haven't been over to Ten June you really must check it out.  Michelle uses her quirky sense of humor to relay awesome DIY project ideas and home renovation projects.  She also includes clever posts about life in general. One of my favorite projects of hers is this DIY rustic wall art...

... just beautiful!

Thanks again Michelle for including me in your post!!

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!
