Stupid beading tricks: Teal Statement Necklace

No teal beads? No problem. I picked up a package of Jesse James Design Elements beads in “Mystere.” For only $5.99 you get a packet of gorgeous and chunky beads all in the same color family. It’s a very cost-effective way to build a nice statement necklace.

Teal and chunky.
Teal and chunky.

I strung them on heavyweight beading wire along with pewter spacers that I’ve had for years and attached it to some teal sari silk. It ties closed behind the neck.

Now I just need something to wear it with!

Hello!

About Me

I've been blogging for over twenty (2 decades! 2-0!) years and I'm apparently one of the few over-50 female bloggers who haven't sold out to THE MAN yet; hence this blog remains quirky, homespun, and unprofitable. No big. However, if you're from Disney, Doritos, or Dave Matthews Band, I'm open to talk about selling out.

I live in Southern New Jersey with my husband WM, and our dog Murphy. I'm an adult who likes Disney but not a Disney Adult. I used to work a fun (really!) office job in Philadelphia, but since March of 2020 I'm a work from home hermit. So if you're looking for a childless, slightly round, marginally boring GenX woman's blog to follow, you've come to the right place! :)

Well, that happened.
