Posted under Sewing . Tutorials | 29 Comments
Anthropologie is one of my favorite placer to turn into for inspiration, they don’t just have the most creative awesome and eco-friendly displays, they always have super cute clothes and accessories!
So today I will show you how easy is to make one of this little necklace:
And in case you wondered my inspiration were this wonderful necklaces:
THE PROCESS:
[Click Images to Enlarge]
Note: Try to find the thinest fabric you can to make this because if the knots are just as big as the pearls you loose the effect.
|
Materials: |
|
Cut stripes, mines are 1.5 inches, but it depends on the size of you pearl, try to wrap the pearl in fabric and pin it making sure it goes trough, then leave enough space to sew. |
|
Fold your stripe of fabric in half and sew. After you finish cut the extra leftover (you need to have the less material possible for the knots) |
|
To turn them inside out I always use a safety pin. |
|
1- Put one pearl carefully though the end. Do it for as many as you want! |
|
I didn’t do it all the way around, and leave some spots without pearls, because I want to attach, the flowers. |
|
To make the flower 1- pass a needle in zig-zag thought the edge of your second piece of fabric. |
|
Cut a small felt circle. |
|
Hot glue the flower to the necklace, glue the piece of felt on top. |
|
You are done! |
I love how simple and how cute it is! I could make one of each color to spice up my wardrobe

Great tut Joy, I love it!
Hi Joy,
I love your blog! Could you tell me how long the strips of fabric need to be? I am assuming 1 1/2 inches wide but didn’t see a measurement for the length, unless I’m just reading over it!
Great tutorial!

Hi Amanda, actually this scan be any length you want, that is why I didn’t set an exact length, what I did was measure a strip of fabric around my neck and see how it looked at different lengths then decided to keep it at 27″ – Hope that helps =]
What a gorgeous necklace! I pinned so I can make it later. Thanks for sharing this awesome tutorial!
This is really cute, I can’t wait to try it- how did you finish it off though? Like, where did you close your necklace?
I finish the necklace in the exact point I wanted the flower to be so I could cover the seam with the flower and to finish it I just sew both ends together.
Attempting this necklace is 3,2,1….thank you!
Simply gorgeous! Love the color choice and I’m a huge fan of Anthro as well. Cute blog by the way, glad I found ya!
Thanks for sharing your talents. I love this tutorial. I just finished a necklace too but I didn’t do any sewing, I went the easier way

Hi joy nice idea, but I was just wondering how to attach the flower and the circle to the necklace without glue gunning it?
