[my DIY] Tribal Necklace
Uncategorised
Inspired by Mara Hoffman’s Spring 2012 line, I became obsessed with making a statement tribal necklace knowing it would be the perfect accessory for my upcoming trips to LA and Florida. One thing I love is that you can wear just one or stack a bunch for a bolder look.
Another thing I LOVE is that all the supplies are under $20!
I wore three today with a new shirt I made at a DIY retreat with Honestly WTF this weekend in Palm Spings… more to come on that soon!
Customize yours with different color combinations or by adding nuts, washers and beads.
Supplies: Rope, embroidery floss, small beads, lobster claw, large lock nuts and chain.
Steps after the break!
Cut the rope to a little longer then the length you want the necklace (wrap masking tape around the ends to keep from fraying). Tie the first color of string at one end and double knot.
Next start wrapping the string around the rope leaving the starting end loose.
To switch colors double knot the two strings together.
Continue wrapping covering up the excess string ends.
Keep wrapping, switching colors as you go to create your desired pattern.
Continue wrapping until you cover the entire piece of rope.
Cut so only a little masking tape is left on the end.
Thread the string end through the lock nut, then screw the nut onto the end of the rope.
Tie the chain onto the end, repeat on opposite side.
Attach lobster clasp, and your first necklace is done!
Using these basics make two or more strands to wear together.
Add hardware by stringing washers on the rope, or threading beads onto the embroidery floss while wrapping.
Get creative and have fun making your own combinations!

In today’s times every person wants to have rolex datejust watches
which is specially fabricated for them. Women are extremely possessive when it comes to their fashion replica catier jewellery online and obviously they donot like to disclose their fashion statement to any other women. In a race to have exclusive things, the demand of designer waterproof jackets has considerably gone up over the past few years. Designer discount gucci handbags allow you to liberate yourself from someone else’s choice and select exclusive things not to be found cheap chanel shopping anywhere else.
This is a great bracelet project. I’m always looking for ideas for men’s styles and this is unisex and cool- perfect combo! http://v2Crystals.com
