And, I had the forethought to take pictures as I made it, so you get to see how to make one too!
To make this necklace, you'll need some monofilament, two jump rings, your desired number of beads (I used 17), and 36 inches of ribbon.
Begin with a jump ring. Mine isn't exactly a jump ring, but it's what I had on hand. Tie some monofilament to your ring. (I just use fishing line, it's a lot cheaper than buying monofilament at a craft store.)
Next, string on your beads. The rest of the necklace will be ribbon, so you don't need the length of beads to fit all the way around your neck.
After your last bead, tie another jump ring onto your monofilament. Snip any extra monofilament off.
Thread ribbon through each jump ring. I used about 18 inches of ribbon, folded in half (to make a length of 9 inches after tied onto your necklace), for each side.
Tie a neat knot in the ribbon over each jump ring.
Tie the ribbons around your neck in a pretty bow and wear your new necklace!
