Tutorial | Driftwood Necklace

 I know project tutorials have been rather sparse on the blog throughout this summer but I'm excited to share more in the coming weeks!

Let's start with a simple driftwood necklace I created with inspiration from THIS.

Materials:

as many pieces of driftwood or sticks as you like | chain or ribbon | round links | drill + small drill bit | paint + paintbrush/toothpicks

1} Use your small drill bit to create holes where you'd like them placed in the stick
2}If needed, sand off any rough edges

3} Get creative & paint any pattern you like! {Here are some ideas ----> 1,2,3}

4} Once paint is dry, thread the chain or ribbon through the holes you drilled. How you do this & how the sticks lay is up to you. I used two small circles just below the upper stick to keep it from laying right next to the lower stick. Since my necklace was long enough to fit over my head, I didn't need a clasp but you can find those {as well as the chain & circles} at most craft stores or a jewelry/beading shop.

Thanks for letting me share this project! I'd love to know if you try something similar!
