| The best part about it is that it takes absolutely no skill whatsoever to make :DYou need a bunch of random chains ribbons and charms in a colour scheme. I chose blue/white/gold.
Cut lengths of the ribbons and chain. It should be around 1 and 1/3rds the length you want the finished product to be.
String charms randomly on to most of the ribbons, I left the chains blank because I couldn’t be bothered finding pliers.
Now the thing that keeps it all together is the knotting, grab another piece of ribbon, this one should be quite a bit longer than the others. Tie it in a tight knot around the other ribbons around 5cm from the ends.
Leave around 10cm gap and tie it around everything again. The placement of the knots is what determines the draping of the ribbons and charms.
Keep going until you’ve tied it all up. I had 4 knots by the end. Now we need to make a way to attach it around the neck/wrist. Cut the ends leaving around 2cm of ribbon after the end knot and leave around 6cm more of the ribbon you did the knotting with. Fold it in half like this so it forms a loop.
Wind a bunch of cotton around it and tie off to keep it in place. Now all you need to do is thread another ribbon through those loops and tie it around your neck!
Taadaa!
Lots of dangly pretty things, I think this kind of style works best with lots of little dangly things.
 
I’m glad to get crafts like this out of my system! When I see really particular styles everywhere I just want to make one so I can stop thinking about it XD
What do all of you think? Do you like this style?

Love it! you could always use bits and bobs that feel out from god knows which jewelry and change the charmed when ever you feel like it <3
Exactly! It would be so easy to just untie it and add new things!
Cool! One day I’ll make a necklace like this ^^
PS. Is it my screen, or the photos are a bit over-exposed? :S
Oh no! The photos are brighter than usual but maybe it’s a monitor difference? I can’t wait to see your necklace!
You look angelic in these photos, you are just so creative. I wish I had the patience for crafting!
:D You and I should have a crafting day some time! I want to do interactive crafting videos!
Hi Violet, just happened to stumbled on your website. I love how everything is so cute! Have subbed to you and added to my favourites!
Love the necklack btw! =)
Thank you so much Kerker! I’m really glad you found my site :D Thanks so much for commenting!
That’s so cool! It’s got a kinda gothic feel, but it’s really pretty and cute. Does that make sense? I hope it does! Anyways, I love it!
It does make sense, thank you Rosie, you should make one too!
You have such an unique style – love it!
