Another safety pin necklace!!!

Do you remember this safety pin necklace???
If not you can see how I made it Here

Well, I came up with another version of one!!

I love how easy and cheap these necklaces are!

They are really quite fun to make with kids....older kids!!

I love having my daughter model...takes the pressure off of me!!

Okay, so funny story, I first had my daughter take the picture...

and we looked at it and were scared!!!

This is totally a scary picture !!! She calmed my hair down and I tried not to open my eyes so much!!! :)

I little better, but I still like my daughter to be the model!!!

Safety Pin Necklace

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Today I am going to show you how to make your own safety pin necklace!

I started with a bunch of safety pins, some stretch cord (.8 mm) and some beads from an old necklace.

I just started to feed the beads onto the safety pins.

Then I fed the cord threw the bottom of all the safety pins and then put my beads on the cord on both sided, in whatever way you would want them to be.

Once you have all of your beads in the order you want, and make sure you measure on yourself where you want your necklace to hang, then you can add your lobster claws.

Feed them on the cord.

Tie a square not in the stretch cord, right where you want your lobster claw to be. I added a drop of super glue just to ensure that my not wouldn't come undone, just make sure it is where you want it before you add super glue.

Now you have made your own necklace! I love how this turned out, I think I am going to make different colored necklaces, and I might whip out a bracelet or two....so stay tuned!
