we had a little craft hour at the beach yesterday. i saw on a few blogs, this necklace that doubles as a teether for a baby, and necklace for mommy. even though the little bebe probably won't be using a teething necklace for a year, i wanted to make it just for a necklace to wear. with a strip of fabric, 2 inches wide and 8 small 3/4 inch wooden craft balls, we created this..
easy as pie, my mammy, who can sew or create anything, stitched up a fabric tube, then we placed the wooden balls inside the tube one by one. in between each ball, you tie a knot. we weren't sure what we wanted to do with the part that went around the neck. you could use ribbon that you knot into the necklace, or continue around with the same fabric. i chose to twist it, and then knot it every few inches. or you could braid it, whatever you choose. then, easy easy easy, i just tied a knot to the side just to see the final product, i originally thought we would sew it, so we wouldn't have a sem. but i loved the little bow after i saw it, it adds a little sweet'ness, i think.
i hope you enjoy! if you are a mommy, mommy to be, or someone like me who just enjoys a fun new accessory. try this, you can do it, so so easily. trust me! if you do, come back, comment, and let us know who it turns out. i would love to see...
happy beaches and saturdays.
what a good idea! i ain't no baby momma, but it's really fun anyway!
