DIY Beaded Necklace

I am not a good DIYer.  I have a severe worry of messing up a project and therefore wasting the money I spent on supplies.

When I saw Andrea’s post on this beaded necklace, I was inspired to try.

I went to my local craft store and bought the only beads they had. Next time I think I’ll try to buy some prettier beads online.

I am incredibly happy with how these turned out and they weren’t difficult AT ALL.

And they made perfect gifts to give away for Christmas.

I also bought a ton of these flowers from Pick Your Plum (best craft site ever!) and super glued them to some earring posts. These were perfect gifts for my son’s preschool teachers.

So the moral of the story is…don’t let your fear or perfectionism hold you back from trying because you might just end up with something really pretty. 🙂
