Anthropology Necklace Knockoff

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!
