DIY Colour Block Necklace


 It's August and I'm prepping for my summer holiday which means bright warm colours and big ass beads! These beads were upcycled from an old necklace I really hated, it was too long and the beads tortured my hair by pulling out chunks at the back, not cool. This new design is so much better, I love wearing leather/pleather as it sits on the skin so much nicer than metal! All you need for this little number is:

  • Wooden beads
  • Leather string
  • 1 Clasp
  • 1 Finding
  • 2 End caps

First of all, clamp the end cap on one end of the leather. Make sure it's secure and that the string can't rotate.
Then lay out the beads in the pattern you want, then slide them onto the string.

Once you've done that fix on the final end cap then secure the finding to the end cap and clasp.

Voila! This is going to look ace with a bright lipstick and some wedges or even just a colour block bikini. Have a great summer and have fun! xx
