Instructions

  1. Small screen shot 2010 10 19 at 15.24.22 1287498380

    Grab a pair of sheer stockings and cut off the legs. Leave room at both ends (so you can tie your necklace together when it's done).

    Knot one leg (leave a little room at the end) and drop bouncy balls, one at a time, tying knots between them as you go.

  3. Repeat the process with the second stocking leg. Make sure that the one leg has more balls. This will serve as the bottom strand.

  4. Attach the legs together by knotting them. P.S. - Get creative by mixing balls of different colors and sizes with a variety of textured stockings and tights. The possibilities are endless.
