I was browsing Anthropology the other week and spotted a TON of cute things. Their prices are a little high for my budget but everything is sooo pretty and totally knockoff worthy!
One thing that caught my eye was this necklace. It looked super simple to make... so I did :) This baby has a touch romance to it too, perfect for Valentines Day!
Anthro Necklace Knockoff Tutorial
Supplies
- 7 Big beads with big holes
- Long piece of lightweight, dreamy/whimsical fabric
- Big needle
Rip a 2 inch strip of fabric as long as you can.
My strip wasn't quite long enough so I used 2 strips.
Thread your needle with your fabric.


Tie a knot at one end leaving plenty of room to tie a bow when you are finished.
I tied two knots, the first one tight and the second more loose and messy (around the first knot). Thread on a bead and tie another knot.


Continue threading on beads and tying knots.
When my first strip ran out I tied a knot using my both my new strip end and the one that was getting too short. I made the knot where I was originally going to place a knot on the necklace and just cut the ends off. Then, I tied a knot over to cover any ends still showing. Whew... make sense??!!
When you have finished simply tie a pretty bow and trim the edges.
I roughed mine up a bit too by picking at the edges for a frayed look.

These only take a few minutes to make and you need no jewelry making tools or skills :)
I had so much fun with the first I made another.
I should be on a beach when I wear this one.
I hope you enjoyed the tutorial. I saw another one that I am dying to make! I hate to be a copycat but why not when you can do it yourself?! Is that bad?? I hope not.
Have a pretty day!
