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. S. King-Allikas |
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,
