Bead and Fabric Necklace - finished necklace with ends tiedI wanted to make a fun necklace with scrap fabric, a bunch of beads I had laying around, alongside with some beads I made out of cornstarch awhile back.

Choose a piece of fabric as long as you'd like your necklace. Keep in mind you will be tying a bow to fasten it. I used the lining to an old skirt.

Total Time: 45 minutes

Yield: 1 necklace

Link: Here is a link to the Cornstarch Beads on ThriftyFun.

Supplies:

  • long, thin piece of fabric
  • big beads or marbles for inside the fabric
  • small beads for outside the fabric
  • chopstick
  • needle and thread or sewing machine
