DIY fringe necklace (I think?)

Yep…there is a question mark at the end of my title.
Because I don’t know if you can call this a fringe necklace?
No matter…it’s cute.
You need one
You want one.
And it can happen for you!

No jokes about the picture please…my daughter took these and did a darn good job!

Anyways, here’s how this craft goes…

You’ll need some fabric.
Make sure you pick something with great color.
And something unique and special.
This is the whole necklace.

I chose to use fabric as the “chain”.
I simply folded over a strip and sewed it down the middle.
You could use ribbon or cord or many other things.

Cut your fabric  to your desired number of strips.
Cut them in varying lengths…but don’t worry too much
because you will end up adjusting them later.
Be sure to cut them longer then you actually want by a couple of inches.

Tie those pieces onto the center of your band.
As you tie them, be sure they are going to lay right.
Don’t worry too much, though, because we are going
to fix it up so they lay nice and flat.

After you get them all tied on, cut the top of the ties
(at the top of the necklace) down nice and short.
Run a bead of hotglue on the top to be sure it doesn’t open on you.

Cut a piece of fabric as a “backing”.
This piece you will hot glue to the back of your necklace.
It will be how you keep the pieces on straight and running the way you want.
It will also help you not get scratchy from the hot glue.

Wear this with jeans and a simple top…and rock it!
Cause you are the coolest!

Til Next Time…
