I love doing the normal things with friends - shopping, dinner, movies, drinking wine (when not with child), but I also love doing different things that are also helpful! Like helping a friend shop their closet, clothing swap parties and now, DIY parties! I've had a growing Pinterest DIY list and wanted to get some projects done, so had a craft party last weekend at my house with friends. We each brought our own materials and DIY projects, ate snacks and chatted over crafting. I made quite a few things that I'll be debuting.
My first project - that red necklace you see me wearing! I got the full tutorial from ECAB, but made the beaded portions longer (10" vs. 5.5") and used a toggle clasp.
Your shopping list: 2 large jump rings, 6 bead tips, heavy duty thread, chain, beads (I needed those two bottles for this whole necklace), a clasp, scissors and needle nose pliers.
