Necklace Makeover

https://www.cutoutandkeep.net/projects/necklace-makeover • Posted by Meesh N.

I ordered some jewelry from Forever 21 awhile ago and bought some things that I thought looked really cute online, but didn’t turn out so cute in person. Since their return policy is final sale on all jewelry I was stuck with a necklace that I wasn’t very excited about. So I decided to add some DIY magic to it and try to make it into something that I would wear, rather than let it take up space and gather dust at the bottom of my drawer.

    Embroidery Floss/Thread – I limited myself to 5 so I wouldn’t buy the whole range of colors available It's also easier to mix and make the necklace with less colors.

    I took each section of the necklace apart so it would be easier to wrap. I put a little dab or superglue wherever I started and ended a color. Here I’m finishing off the darker green.
