SO..... what do you think of my new necklace.?!?! I'm pretty much loving it. Not to mention it cost me about 3 bucks to make it :)
If I can make something and save money by doing it I will. If I can take a bag of pearls and 2 strands of ribbon and make a necklace that I adore then I am all for it.
What you need:
1 bag of fake pearls
1 Spool Silver Ribbon
1 Spool Black ribbon
Needle and thread
What to do:
Cut your ribbon into 1 inch squares. I just used my thumb to measure it.
Cut out 40 Silver squares and 40 Black squares.
Tread your needle with your thread.
Thread 1 black square, 1 silver square and 1 Pearl.
Thread 1 silver square, 1 black square and 1 Pearl.
Thread 1 black square, 1 silver square and 1 Pearl.
Thread 1 silver square, 1 black square and 1 Pearl.
Thread 1 black square, 1 silver square and 1 Pearl.
Thread 1 silver square, 1 black square and 1 Pearl.
Thread 1 black square, 1 silver square and 1 Pearl.
Thread 1 silver square, 1 black square and 1 Pearl.
Continue with this pattern until you've made the necklace as long as you want it to be.
Then on the ends I tied off the thread.
I then took two -4 inch strands of black ribbon and stitched one to each end of the necklace. These are the ribbons I used to tie the necklace around my neck.
And there is your Pearl Ribbon Necklace.
PS. a tip*** I found that after I was done making the necklace that the silver ribbons had started to fray, so I just took a long lighter (like for candles) and went over the necklace with quick strokes so the little frayed strings were singed. :)

Hi all,
Soft pearls on a ribbon make for a fun and feminine addition to your jewelry box. With glass bead hand-decorated with black ribbons weighing down the ends, each necklace ties off to make it whatever length you want. Thanks a lot.
