Continuing with a DIY Holiday week, let’s make a great gift-giving item; a simple, colorful statement necklace. I love making these types of pieces because they require minimal materials and are so quick to put together. Last night I made 4 more of these pretty things in about 40 minutes while watching The Voice (go Team Cee Lo!). Here’s the how-to.
You can also make different color and shape combinations. In case you want to hunt down these exact same beads, the shiny round ones are from Joann’s Fabrics and I purchased them about 1 month ago. The wooden geometric ones are from the bead shop I frequent in Downtown LA called The Bead Factory, which I wrote about in this post. You can find detailed info on ordering these beads on that post.
These make great gifts for girlfriends and sisters, or to keep for yourself. If you’d like to see the how-to for making a similar necklace but on cording, check out my Geometric Necklace Tutorial, or for a more labor-intensive statement necklace, check out my Ombre Seed Bead Necklace Tutorial. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!
i really love this DIY. it’s one i can handle!
i love this so so much. are your beads wooden? is there an online retailer you could link to? i know you have a local shop you like, so maybe not, but thought i’d ask.
gorgeous, as always!
These are so pretty – i love the colors you put together. I just found the most amazing bead store in town this weekend and can’t wait to whip up some pretty necklaces
You are a genius!! I need to “make” more time for crafts, etc. I really want to get with it more, but feel sort of stuck in a routine??
I might try this for Christmas gifts for my sis/sil.
Hmm, I just assembled my necklace, but am a little confused with the closing it off part? How do you attach the other part of your chain to the crimped wire??
Thank you.
I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get setup? I’m
assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?

Thats somewhat Offtopic, but i assumed you might give me some advice.
On the subject of registering and hosting a domain name, I have no
idea what I should do. A. Should I register and host at the same place?
Or B. Should I register my domain name with one company and
host it with another? I would want to do A, but therein lies my dilemma.
I want to register my domain name with NameCheap, because I like their rates.
Nonetheless, I’d rather not host my site with them. What would be your personal preference?
I run a cooking blog where I share my dishes and tricks and tips

of Google when i searched for For the Love of a DIY Holiday, as a result i think you must be a very skilled, care to share
some suggestion with me?

send me an email.
Howdy! This is kind of off topic but I need some guidance from an established blog.
