Beaded Necklace

As Tara & I  thought about the best way to say goodbye to the first month in the new year, we thought what better way then adding some new jewelry to your wardrobe. If you are like me your budget for jewelry is close to last on the list!! Don't get me wrong I would love to have the funds to buy some fun sparkles. But I also have a 17 month old that still tugs and chews on all of my necklaces, this one Baby Proof!!
As promised I have made a beaded necklace tutorial for you. I know there are a few different tutorials out there for beaded necklace, Blue Cricket Design has a nice one. Well here is mine to add to the group!DSC08024
Items Needed:
  • Fabric ( I bought 1/8th yard of each color to maximize my choices!)
  • Beads (you can also use marbles or left over mini ornaments)
  • Sewing Machine (If you don't have one not a problem, hand stitch or glue!)
  • Ribbon
  • Embellishments (The fun part of every project!) DSC08146First up you need to cut your material. I took my fabric and rolled it over the bead and added enough room for a 1/4” hem. It will depend on the size of you bead for this step.  For the length I kept it the width of the bolt which was 48”.  DSC08147 Next up you will fold your material right side in so you sew a blind hem. I like to add a safety pin on the inside and on the end this way you can thread it through, it will save you a lot of time when flipping it right side out!DSC08151Then sew I doubled my hem just because I wanted to make sure it was extra secure! If you don't have a sewing machine, you can hand stitch or use glue on this part.DSC08152Once you flip your material right side out time to add the beads. Start with where you want your end I left about 2” and knotted added a bead then knotted again, do this until you have your desired length  DSC08155 After you get your length its time to finish up, you can use ribbon or fabric or even rope. I used another piece of fabric (gotta love scraps!) I measured how long I wanted it to sit and cut my brown piece to fit.
DSC08156Then you are going to tuck the brown into the necklace and sew right across the seam. DSC08157 There you have a new fashionable necklace for under a dollar! You can add some rolled flowers, or beads or bows to the seam but I like this one just plain What do you think?DSC08158~Enjoy, Kori
