So have you ever had an incident where you're holding your baby (child, teenager, WHATEVER), and they do THIS to your FAVORITE necklace?
Yeah, thought you moms out there could relate. I was so, so sad! Even though this necklace was $0.50 in the Fashion District of Downtown Los Angeles, I LOVED it! It was such a pretty color, and fit perfectly!
So what can you do when this happens? Improvise!
Using these supplies, I was able to thread the ribbon into each bead, securing a knot between the beads. I attached a black bow to the necklace, and voila! A super chic, NEW necklace!
I'm a happy mama again. Well, and I replaced the necklace with the very same one last week since we were down in LA for a field trip-HAH!
HAPPY WEDNESDAY!
love it! Looks fantastic!

ReplyDeleteGenius! Great way to turn it into a positive. It looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI love it! I made a similar necklace on my blog: http://www.waywardgirlscrafts.com/2011/07/funky-chunky-ribbon-necklace.html
ReplyDeleteI love yours!
I love it! I made one similar to this a few months ago. I really like the ribbon on it though, just classes it up a little more. :)
ReplyDeleteOh, boy, can I relate! My kids aren't little any more, but I've done the same thing to my OWN necklaces! Brilliant idea to string the beads on ribbon--not even my clumsy hands could break that! :)
