Trend: Tassel Necklaces

Hey everyone! So I have to make a little confession... I recently found myself in a daze and completely mesmerized by a necklace wrapped around the neck of Rachel Zoe. I'm TOTALLY obsessed!  She was wearing (as shown below) a tassel necklace that seems to be trending now.  I love the tassel key chains I sell at my MADE BY GIRL shop, but who would've thought they looked so chic on our necks.  I did some major browsing around & and collected these pieces... also, check out the one I bought.

P.S:  my necklace is sold out at Bauble Bar, but you can get on their wait list, to be notified when it's available again!

ALSO: In the mood for a little DIY project one weekend?? Check out this awesome tutorial on how to make your own tassel necklace-- So creative, I LOVE it!!!

DIY: Statement Necklace..

Hello Made By Girl readers! I'm Jenny May from the Swede Records.  
I'm so honored to be on Jen's team! I really do hope you enjoy my DIY creations & that they inspire you to try something new for yourself. 

For my first project, I decided to recreate this statement necklace that I found on Pinterest.  My jaw just about dropped to the floor when I saw this beauty.  I could not for the life of me find the necklace to purchase anywhere so I decided to give making one on my own a go... 

First, gather your teardrop pendants (I found mine at an antique store for $25).  The middle pendant should be bigger than the rest.

Be sure to test out different nail polish colors to find your desired color palette.

Start off by painting several coats of nail polish on each pendant but only paint one side of the crystals. 

Let the pendants dry, then add a clear top coat for chip protection. 

 

Next, securely place one gold brass ring in each small opening on the pendants.  
 

Finally, position and set each pendant on the gold chain.  I left about an inch of space between each crystal.  The side of the crystal that is not painted should be facing outward as the color shines through beautifully. 
 

Et voila! I was so happy with the end result.  It turned out to be a lot easier than I thought and it only took a little over an hour! 

Pair this necklace with a black dress and stilettos and you got yourself the perfect statement necklace for the Holidays! 

If any of you readers make one of your own, be sure to send Jen or myself the results so we can share them!  Happy Holidays!

DIY: Neon Necklace

Hello Made by Girl readers! Jenny May here from The Swede Records this Monday bringing you another fun n' easy DIY!! 


With Coachella just around the corner, I wanted to make a light weight necklace that really stood out and made a fun statement.  I absolutely love bright colors and when trying to make something unique, you really can't go wrong with spray paint!

 

I simply traced a triangle on the plastic canvas, cut the shape out, and spray painted the piece on newspaper with neon spray paint. 

I then slid the chain through a tiny square in the middle of the triangle. 

 Et voila, under 5 min! I plan to do another with neon pink. : )
