5 Minute DIY - Beaded Necklace

I've been really into "statement necklaces" these days. My theory about why I like them so much is that they are kind of a replacement for scarves. In the fall/winter I pretty much wear a scarf everyday - I love the way they make a plain t-shirt feel fancier. But really, there is no way you can get away with wearing a scarf when it's 108 degrees outside. I tried it once. I felt stupid. Enter "statement necklaces." I've seen a couple of DIY versions of big beaded necklaces, so I decided to give it a try. Here is what I came up with!

Supplies Needed

Acrylic Paint

Wooden Beads

Necklace Clasp

Ribbon

Step One: Paint Yo Beads 

My trick to keep your fingers clean. I like clean fingers.

Step 2: String Up Those Beads

Step 3: Tie Your Necklace Clasp On The Ribbon

Step 4: Think About Ways to Keep Your Necklace from Looking Kind of Tacky in the Back, then Decide You Like a Little Tacky and Burn the Ends of Your Ribbon with a Lighter

Simple, yes? I love simple projects that you can do while watching terrible TV shows and this is definitely one of them.
