DIY Chunky Bead Necklace

April 17, 2014 By: Melanie

DIY Chunky Bead Necklace (3)

We are loving the chunky bead necklace trend for little girls.  Since I have 4 girls, things can get a bit pricey in the cute and trendy department.  Steff and I were determined to find a way to get some cute necklaces on my girls for less.  Where do we go?  Our favorite crafting spot, Hobby Lobby.

We found some cute chunky beads, they were all on sale for 50% off.  Hobby Lobby is cool like that.  So each necklace cost about $4! Now we’re talking!  We also don’t have any fancy jewelry making skills or equipment, so these are as basic as necklaces can get.

Here’s all you need:

  • Beads
  • 1 mm jewelry elastic
  • Hot glue gun

First,  lay out the beads in the pattern and order you like.

Then  string them on elastic (found down the bead aisle.)

Once all the beads are strung, tie the ends with a good square knot,

and add a dab of hot glue right on the knot.

Repeat with the other beads.
