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 🙂
This is really nice. But hoe heavy is it with marbles in it?
Really cute! I've seen people do something similar but they call them teething necklaces that the mom wears for the baby. I would be kind of worried about something happening and the baby getting the marble.
Super cute and "stylish"! I saw a lady at church with something like this.
This is so cute!! 🙂 I've been wanting to make one of these! Going to look around your blog some more 🙂 Would love if you'd stop by mine too! Have a great day!~hugs, Holly
Very cute, Kaysi! I love the colors, and that rosette is the perfect finishing touch!
Super cute with the dress! I am going to try and make one for my best friend for a graduation gift.

That is so cute. I especially love the rosette on the side.My favorite part is that it actually looks like something I could make. 🙂
Super cute! My kind of thing!
This is beautiful. I really love how it turned out, and it looks like fun to make. I would love it if you would stop by and share at Lines Across.
