NO WAY! Holly... that is just to neat! Or should I say.... saaaaaaa-weet!
That's cool, I can't wait to try it:)
Too cute! I want to try it!
hold. the. phone.
i NEVER would have thought of that.
seriously.
hi-5 holly!!!
Another way to do this (I believe I saw Amy Butler do it on Martha Stewart a couple of years ago), is to sew a casing, or tube, out of one piece of fabric and put the wooden beads into the casing and then tie knots between each of the beads. I have 4 different ones that I made and they are all really easy and fun to make AND great gift ideas!
I have always wondered how these pretty necklaces were made! The part that amazes me is that you can poke the fabric into those little holes. I'm going to try it today. :)
Great! I still have those beads, all kinds of sizes, so I'm definitely going to try it!!!
I made one of these about two months ago and I'm thrilled with the results! I love the Neptune fabric! Looks great!
What an awesome idea! I never would have thought to do this with fabric.
well now that is creative and cute! :)
So cute, what a great idea and looks like fun too!
Ahh! I love this. And so simple too. I can't wait to make some.
LOVE that! Next project on my to-make list!
How cool is that!
Thank you for the fabulous idea and great pics! I can't wait to use some of my leftover "charms" to make gifts for my sister in laws!
Great!
I just go to make my own:)
Thank you!!!
I love this! I just ordered a charm pack of this fabric so a girls group from church that I'm over can make some for Mothers day! Mom's will love it! And we can make 10 necklaces with 1 charm pack!
Ohhh, i love it
thank you so much
maria
is good for me!!! dan
Wow, it seems very interesting to make such lovely necklace. Love Love Love this great idea!I can't wait to have a try!!
If you used bigger beads ( or even this size) you could make a cool garland for Christmas tree I would imagine!?!?
I am wanting to make these for a Mother/Daughter activity. Where did you find these beads? I am having a hard time locating them in packets, like you have. Also, are you saying tht the size of beads can be 13-20 mm or are you saying they are 20 mm with a hole that's 13 mm? Thanks, Julianne
Never mind . . . I get it now. You're saying you need 13 20 mm beads. OK, I'm slow.
Great idea!!!
I just made this for a friend and i had to do it twice. The first one I cut 48"of ribbon and it came down to 18". The second time I started with 80" and now is about 28". Is there 20mm beads that come in different hole sizes? mine a pencil eraser could fit in it.
