I've been in quite the ombre color pattern mood so being the hella crafty person that I am (gawd did I just say that? Right I did....gawd I love me.) I decided that I'd make my cousins Christmas gifts this year and the necklaces turned out just fantabulous! I got the inspiration from the lovely Emily from Cupcakes and Cashmere, so follow these easy instructions below to make the necklace. Craft on people, craft on!
 |
| Purchase from a craft store: beads of desired color, necklace wire, necklace chain, wire cutters, and a pencil. I really loved the Swarovski Crystals from Micheal's. Then figure how long you want the necklace to be, you're going to slip it on over your head so I'd recommend 20 inches or if you have H.H.S. like me (heavy head syndrome) 22 inches ;) |
 |
| Step 2: Lay out beads in order from darkest to lightest. |
 |
| Step 3: Cut wire a minimum of 5 inches in length to easily slip on the beads. |
 |
| Step 4: Slip on the beads in order and hold the opposite end of the wire to ensure that the beads don't spill out (and so you're not crawling on your kitchen floor looking for a tiny crystal bead, cough). Then slip on the necklace chain to each end of the beads. |
 |
| Step 5: Lastly, wrap each end around a pencil tip 2-3 times. This will secure the beads in place. Cut off excess and done! |
 |
| Here are some of the necklaces I made, they came out so cute. |
