If you’ve been following me on Instagram, you’ve probably seen this necklace pop up a lot lately. I wanted one for awhile, but found the retail cost to be more than I wanted to spend. For instance, there’s one available on NASTYGAL.COM for nearly $40! Adorable? Yes, of course. But, worth the money? Meh. Instead of spending the money, I thought this would be a great DIY opportunity. It only takes about five minutes and will cost you only $5! Here are the instructions to how I made mine. Plus – I’ll be giving this exact necklace away on Instagram! Make sure to check out my page for simple steps on how to win it. It’s a small gesture to say thank you to everyone checking out The Nomis Niche. I really appreciate you all!
Supplies:
- Scissors
- Black faux leather suede beading cord
- Two beads for the end
Step #1
Cut the cord your desired length. For me, it was the length of my forearm when folded in half twice. (It ended up being about 60 inches long.)
Step #2
Grab your beads. I found these at our local Hobby Lobby and they worked great. You can pick anything you like really. I made another necklace with ivory colored beads on the end too.
Step #3
Trim the cord just a little bit to make sure you can easily get it through the bead. Make the end into a point instead of a square edge.
Step #4
Thread your beads through. After you have a bead at each end – tie a knot to keep them in place!
Step #5
Clean up the ends by trimming off the excess. Now you’re ready to wear it!
Like I said – it’s super easy! Don’t forget – to win this exact necklace click HERE to go to my Instagram page and follow the simple instructions. Also, I included some of the many ways you can wear it below. Happy Friday!
