Fabric Marble Necklace

Have you noticed lately that I have been trying really hard to take my style up a notch?  Well I am!  But at the same time, I'm trying really hard to not spend a ton of money on myself (since my braces cost me quite a bit).  I have some pretty cute clothes, so I thought that if I just add some kind of accessory that would help with my style.  So I did just that, I made myself a cute necklace to go with a plain grey dress.  

This is how I made it

I took a strip of fabric, 2.5"x14"

I folded it in half and then sewed it.

I then turned it inside out.

Then I took some a marble and put it into the middle of the fabric.

I twisted the fabric and glued it together.  Then I added another marble.  I continued doing that until the fabric was filled with marbles.  

I wanted to put something in between the marbles.  I thought about beads, but I didn't have any that were big enough, so took the ribbon, folded it in half and then glued it in between the marbles.  

Then I added some ribbon for the necklace.  

I added a rosette flower.

Here's a close up, I love how it looks.  It just adds to the necklace.  

And that's it!  Super easy and simple.  I love that I can have it be super long or short.  It just depends on what I'm wearing that day :)
