Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Casual, Military, Classic, Romantic, Preppy, Cute, Traditional


Materials

5/8 inch Ribbon, Thread, 16mm faux pearl beads, and scissors.

What was your inspiration?

My husband was in Afghanistan for 8 months and I wanted something cute and red to wear to his homecoming with a blue and white polka dot dress that I found at Target.

What are you most proud of?

I love the necklace. It turned out so cute and added just the right punch of red to the outfit.

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

I think the necklace would have worked just a little better if I'd found a ribbon that was two sided. As is, it gets twisted and the polka dot side doesn't always stay facing out.

I think this is so cute and if I can't find two-sided ribbon maybe I'll use two pieces of ribbon back to back. Thank you for sharing and so glad your husband is home and well.

Thank you. Thats a great idea about using two ribbons. I'm sure that would work. :) Good luck.
