Last Minute Gift Idea – How To Make A Pearl Necklace

by //

This year, I was privileged to participate in The Great Necklace Exchange! I was pretty nervous going into it, because you have to make the necklace you give away. I, though I”m trying to be more crafty, am not. So, I started stressing out a little bit. But then I remembered something amazing. A necklace that I had found on Pinterest that didn’t seem too hard. Plus, one of my friends wanted one. So, I decided this would be a perfect opportunity to make a couple of gifts. And here’s how it turned out:

I made 3 of these babies, all a little different. And I’m pretty happy with them. So, this is a great last minute gift idea! Or, something fun to make for yourself for some holiday parties! So, here is the tutorial on how to make a pearl necklace. Easy Peasy.

Remember when I told you we were finishing the Basement? Well, it’s just about done! Bob had the inspector over and there are just a few other things that need to happen before it is complete! And it’s a good thing, because Bob wants to have a foosball tournament in a few weeks. He just got a really nice table off Craigslist and cleaned it up and he’s ready to go.

On a separate note, how do you like my plaid on plaid? I am no expert at mixing patterns, but I felt like this worked. No? I feel like winter in it and I kind of love it. It’s a cheery winter though, not the drab cloudy type I see around these parts most of the season. It’s got me feeling so happy. I need more bright colors in my life!
