a necklace

I don't like complicated things (ignore the faux chenille blanket post)

and my jewelry skills are NO exception.

and obviously I have a certain look to my jewelry

my first EASY necklace (beads..check..bow...check)

but I this new necklace is even easier than this one...easy peasy lemon squeezy.

and don't make fun when I tell you what I made it out of okay?


nylon knee highs.
they were only 33 cents. had to do something with them.
remember..don't make fun!

open them up

shove a bead down to about an inch to the toe.....

tie a knot.

and repeat and repeat and repeat

and repeat

and repeat

this is the toe....

this is the top. You know how your socks have that double band at the top...stop when you reach that.

take your other sock....tie the top tops together....

pretty bow.

then tie the toe together.

and then....
oh wait.

that's it.
told you it was easy.

  6. Oh my gosh. That's an AWESOME idea! I LOVE how the nylon creates texture on the beads but you can still totally see the color of the beads through it. You're brilliant. What can I say?
