DIY Ribbon Necklace

I loved the blue colour this season and since the royal blue is  going to be in fashion the next season, too, I have decided to share some fun DIY projects that will get you through the next season looking stunning and always chic. Get ready for a simple but statement necklace to fit your autumn look! Inspired by 'Gossip Girl' serial since I have been watching it for the past two weeks and got inspired by the glamorous accessories they wear. 

Read on... and ad find out how easy it is to make that one:)

You need:

- 0.5/ 0.7 m of ribbon 

- Round nose pliers 

- Metal round beads 8 mm (2-3 mm hole)

- Lighter

Start threading the beads and use the pliers to pouch the ribbon through the wholes of the beads, if needed.

In the end make a nice bow out of the ribbon and burn the endings slightly so you don't ruin the endings.

... and VOILA.

Here is a nice ribbon necklace that you can wear with a white top or shirt during the next season.

What do you think?

My mini workshop for the past week. Welcome!

I am quite keen on DIY projects with semiprecious stones recently since when I was in Bulgaria, I noticed that they are quite popular. I have now my little collection of gemstone jewellery and I wanted to hear what you think about them. Do you have any in your jewellery box? Favourite stones?

For this DIY,  I chose to use blue howlite turquoise that you can buy HERE. I like to handpick the stones usually but if there is no local shop where you can get them, you can try ebay.

HERE is a nice WIKI tutorial that may help you in the making. If you are interested in some other tutorials for jewellery I will be happy to record some, just let me know.

If you are interested in the healing  power of the stone, it is a great remedy for insomnia and also understanding your dreams... quite interesting when you start reading about the different healing powers of the stones. :) (my new passion)

What do you think about this DIY?
