Easy DIY Necklace

I am super excited about the post for today, y’all!  It’s a super easy yet beautiful necklace that you can DIY in just minutes!  It’s made using 3 things you probably have laying around your house – cord, a washer, and a few beads!  Is that easy or what?

You will need…

• A very long piece of cord (if you need help with finding the right length, double the amount of string that is about the length of one of your longer necklaces)
• A washer
• Beads (ones that you will be able to fit through the hole of your washer)
• Scissors

Start by making a tight knot at the end of one of the sides of the cord.  String in your choice of beads all the way to the knot, and then string in your choice of beads for the other side of the string, but you don’t have to string them in far.  Knot the other side, and string the second set of beads back down to the second knot.  Here is what the ends of your string will be like.

Fold the cord in half now, making sure the 2 sets of beads are right even with each other.  Make one of these cool loops/knots by putting the folded side through the washer and then stringing the 2 ends through the loop made (hopefully that made sense!).

Now, all you need to do is put this around your neck (make sure it is still folded) and drop the 2 sets of beads through the washer, creating a necklace.

Was this tutorial clear enough?  What changes would you make to it?  What color beads do you think would be pretty?  I’d love to hear your comments!
