Amethyst Neck Candy


My sweetheart always says "You could MAKE that!"and it's usually about things I lust for and could never dream of making or things I'd rather just buy. Like a coatrack. Who is going to, after zero experience with woodworking, decide they'll just make their own? He's a sweet man for having so much faith in me. Sometimes my vision comes to fruition and sometimes...well...

I've seen a lot of these really natural necklaces at craft fairs for some fair and not-so-fair prices. They're running anywhere from $25-45 on up on Etsy but this little puppy was made for $7.50. I had the clasp, jump rings, chain and eye pins at home, so this would admittedly cost a few more if you didn't have those. Don't forget your Michael's coupons if you don't - bead supplies add up quickly!

Pliers open the jump rings and eye pins and really, other than opening and closing the rings, the amethyst does all the word.

A fun little addition to an outfit, if I do say so myself.
