Ribbon necklace

When I was wandering through John Lewis haberdashery the other day, as you do, I stumbled on a sale section. The sale wool was a bit sad looking, but there were some lovely beads and jewellery making kits. This is not the way my craftiness lies, but I couldn’t stop circling back to a rather sparkly and art-deco looking strand of beads. In the end, I decided it would make a simple ribbon necklace with some rather lovely silk ribbon I’d picked up at Loop months earlier.

I decided not to knot the ribbon, so that I could adjust the length as I wanted and move the beads about to suit my whim. I can wear it long and keep the beads free-flowing, or I can wear it short with the beads in a neat line.

I keep having to remind myself that I don’t need another hobby, but I already kind of want to go back and see what else they have.

      Thank you! I’m having to resist the urge to make more. Looking at Etsy instead is NOT helping. 🙂
