I’m going to show you how to make a Spring statement necklace. It’s called a statement necklace because it is a necklace that makes a statement! I noticed this style of necklace was really popular around the holidays, but this is a fun spring-time version. You can change the look (dress up or dress down) depending on what kinds of beads and ribbon you choose.

Step 1
Make sure that your needle is small enough to fit through the hole in your beads. Thread your needle with an arms-length of embroidery floss. Knot the end of the floss (I used a double knot to make it extra secure) then cut the tail off, close to the knot.
Step 2
Cut a piece of ribbon, approximately 42″ long. Measure approximately 18″ from the end of the ribbon and start here. Make 3 little folds of ribbon, accordion style, to create 3 little ruffles.
Step 3
Insert the needle through the middle of all 3 ruffles. Make sure that the knot in the embroidery floss ends up on the under-side of the ribbon.
Step 4
Now add a bead.
Step 5
Make 3 more ruffles, right after the bead. Insert the needle in the middle of the 3 ruffles as you did previously.
Step 6
Make 3 more ruffles, right after the bead. Insert the needle in the middle of the 3 ruffles as you did previously.
Step 7
Make sure both ends of ribbon match up and trim as needed. I cut the ends of mine at an angle for a cleaner look. Use a dot of clear fabric glue to secure both knots. Coat the tips of ribbon with clear fabric glue to avoid fraying.
Step 8
Tie the necklace in a bow around your neck. Wear it with a bright Spring outfit and enjoy the compliments!
