Happy Monday lovelies! As I teased on instagram yesterday, I've got 5 DIYs for you all this week! This first one is inspired by this amazing Pearl Collective necklace. I love the look of it but wanted to make it a bit dantier using these spike beads I had on hand. I may make another one with bigger spikes and layer them together! {How to after the jump}
You'll need: Pearl beads (I used the larger and medium ones shown above), spike beads, beading string, scissors, jewelry pliers, crimp beads, two smaller jump rings, a larger jump ring, and a lobster clasp.
Cut a length of string and attach one end to a jump ring using a crimp bead. String on the pearls and spike beads in whatever pattern you like. When it reaches the length you want, attach the other end to another jump ring with a crimp bead. Repeat this two more times to make a three strand necklace.
Here's what mine looks like.
Attach the large jump ring to one end and the lobster clasp to the other.
And there you have it!
I love how this looks on, so edgy yet feminine. And I had all the supplies on hand so this cost me nothing to make. If you bought the supplies, you'd be able to make this for about $10 or so.
