Roped Macrame Necklace | A Pair & A Spare
I showed this DIY to my mum who said ‘that’s so 70’s’ but I still like it! Sometimes when all you feel like wearing is a tshirt and jeans, a big statement necklace is just the thing to make it special. Macrame is so easy to pick up too. If you want a smaller pendant, use smaller string. Just don’t wear it with bell bottoms or you’ll get looks from my mum!

Anthro Inspired Tassel Necklace | The Merry Thought

A lot of people have very specific styles - they will only wear gold, never wear anything ‘girly’ or refuse to wear flats. I’m very all over the place with my style - if I likes it, I’ll wears it! Which is probably why I find it hard to get dressed in the morning! But I do find that quirky jewellery pieces can bring styles together and are easy to dress up even the simplest of outfits. Don’t get stuck on the colours you see in the picture - if you’d prefer blue and white, go for it! That’s the fun part about DIY - you can make it your own!

Adia Kibur-inspired Lucite Necklace | Stripes & Sequins
I am really impressed when a crafter uses a medium that you think you’ve seen ‘done’ a million times in a different way. This necklace project is a great example - upon first viewing, it looks like a piece of lucite with holes drilled in it (scary, complicated, where do I buy lucite?!) but in actuality, that ‘lucite’ is shrinky dink plastic! That’s right, plain shrinky dink, with the holes pre-punched and baked in the oven. So clever!

Faux Druzy Necklace | Minted Strawberry
I’m a bit in love with natural/mineral/earthy pendants. I particularly love my amethyst necklace, and my huge knuckle-duster crystal ring! When I first saw a druzy necklace on etsy I was keen to buy it but the prices for real druzy can be very expensive! This gorgeous DIY uses blank pendants and painted glass instead, a much much cheaper alternative. If you can’t find glass on the beach, there are some craft stores that sell it. Just be super careful when you smash it up!

Matthew Williamson Inspired Tassel Necklace | Inspiration & Realisation
If you’ve been following my blog for a while (and thank you if you have!) you know how much I like statement necklaces. The only thing is that they usually cost a lot more than simple necklaces so making them is much cheaper. And even cooler is that the tassels on this necklace are handmade!

J Crew Inspired Crystal Necklace | A Splendid Assemblage
I know that you might look at this DIY and think - yeah right Emma, there’s no way I’m able to make that - but trust me, this is a great starter project for anyone wanting to make their own jewellery. Once you’ve got your supplies, it’s really down to preparing your settings and gluing in the crystals. Plus ASA’s version is a lotcheaper than the original J Crew so you can make one for you and one for a friend (or two for you!)
