I made these necklaces last year for the girls and the tutorial was posted on The Twinery blog. It is an easy craft and a pretty addition to an Easter basket...
Materials:
Twine – I used 20” of Pink Sorbet and 20" of Lilac
Wooden beads – I used ten 5/8” and three 3/4”
Wood paint
Paint brush
Darning needle
Scissors
2 Coffee mugs
Step 1: Cut
an 8” strand of twine, thread the needle and put three 3/4" beads onto the
twine.
Step 2: Tie the twine between two coffee mugs so you can easily paint the beads without putting finger prints on them.
Step 3: Let the beads dry.
Step 4: Cut
a 10" strand of twine, thread the needle, string your beads onto the twine
– I used seven 5/8" beads, the three painted 3/4" beads and then three
more 5/8" beads.
Note: Measure your twine to make sure it will fit over the lucky recipient’s head!
Step 5: Tie
a knot in the back.
Step 6: Give.
Wear. Feel pretty.
