*I bought a bucket full of acrylic gems at my local craft store. They come in all shapes and sizes. Some had holes so I figured this would be an awesome necklace for the kiddos.

Total Time: 25 minutes

Yield: 1 necklace

Supplies:

  • acrylic gems
  • safety clasp
  • needle threader/needle
  • thread
  • elastic string

You can make any setting you would like with beads. Then you'll need string, a clasp, and some diamond gems.
