DIY Necklace

When I posted my dress for the Squadron Ball, I got so many sweet comments saying I should go ahead with the white. However, the consensus was that I should get a chunky necklace to off-set the bridal tone of the dress. So I decided to make one. 



I strung blue and whites beads onto floral wire which I measured into three separate lengths. I then made a little circle of white beads at the top for the ribbon. I attached the three pieces of wire and wrapped white ribbon around the top of the necklace to cover the exposed wire. I tied the ribbon in a knot behind the circle and cut off the bit that still showed. This cost about $9.00 for all the beads, but I got WAY more than I needed. Michaels had a great clearance on beads so I got a bunch for a good deal. 


I really like how it turned out and hope that it doesn't fall apart at the ball. I will post pictures this weekend of the entire outfit. 


One last thing; My wonderful fabulous chalkboard has a fatal flaw. I have been looking at this thing for weeks. I posted it here. My husband looks at it all the time. How did NO ONE  tell me that I put 3 P's in Happier. Lane noticed it last night, and I was mortified. I will post one with the correct spelling after I fix my spelling error.

  15. Defining beauty isn't easy. In fact, for every culture, it means something slightly different. As different as priorities and perspectives of outer beauty in each culture may be, one thing is the same - inner beauty stems from confidence, inner peace, and a positive mindset. Vlone Shirts
