I know I pinned this necklace tutorial well over a year ago. It was time to get it done! The tutorial shared by Flamingo Toes is really great. There are wonderful up close pictures so even if you don’t have much experience making your own jewelry you should be able to follow along. I opted for adding extra beads only on one side because I like the asymmetrical look. I also tried to branch out on my color choice. I know I pinned it because I like the teal blue of the beads in the necklace that she made, but I have 6 necklaces with blue and zip with pink. I love the way it turned out!

Here is the original necklace from Anthropologie:

It costs $198! While I do love it and it is pretty, I simply don’t have $200 for a necklace. That’s groceries for a month for us! the one I made cost me right around $12 to make. I can handle that and now I have a trendy, lovely and pink necklace to add to my wardrobe.
