D.I.Y. - 50th Birthday Personalized Message Necklace

DIY 50th Birthday Necklace
S. King-Allikas




Recently one of my favourite people celebrated her 50th birthday.  I wanted to create for her something as special and unique as she is herself. 

I thought it might be nice to make her a necklace and interspersed between the beads would be 50 little slips of paper, each with a message of why I appreciate her, special memories and funny reminicences. 

At our local art supply store I found a "Pandora style" 18" necklace and purchased 26 beads.  I typed out my 50 messages and cut them into strips of various lengths and using a single hole punch, made a hole at one end.  I strung two messages between each bead for a total of 50 messages. 

Think of all the reasons that your friend is so special to you.

Here is the finished necklace.  To wear the necklace she just needs to tear off the slips of paper.

Plan on finding or purchasing a good size shallow box so that the papers don't get bent during wrapping. 



Thank you for visiting My Turquoise Kettle Life today.

Wishing you a gem of a day,
