Hello Spring

 

Hi, Helen here from Curly Birds with my first ‘official’ post on The Twinery. I have to say, I love how versatile this twine is – so easy to crochet, tie and play with. And the colors are beautiful and vibrant.

For my craft today, I made a pretty spring necklace for a pretty girl in a pretty spring dress. And you can too…

Materials:

Twine – of course! I used 20” of Pink Sorbet

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.

Thanks for visiting The Twinery today – 

I look forward to lots more crafts together! Helen
