I am one of those people that when traveling, likes to pick up a cool rock%u00a0or piece of %u00a0driftwood to being home as a momento of my trip. %u00a0Over the years I have gathered an%u00a0extensive%u00a0rock collection and have%u00a0many baskets %u00a0of%u00a0he coolest pieces of drift wood.%u00a0
And I am also a lady that likes to wear a necklace, except I am very much not into metals (gold, silver) or anything %u00a0fancy. Up until about a year ago I had a smooth piece of amber about the size of an apricot%u00a0that the mr. got me a long time ago, but sadly that broke and I have been on the hunt for something %u00a0pretty and%u00a0something special to make my new necklace.
A couple weeks ago, I was playing with the rocks and driftwood ( a little and I were building rock towers while she wacked me %u00a0with a large piece of wood)%u00a0when I%u00a0got that “ah ha” moment and few things crossed my mind.%u00a0%u00a01. My future children will only be allowed to play with big baskets of rocks and driftwood cause they make the best toys. 2. I know I can’t, but I%u00a0%u00a0kind of want to %u00a0wack her back, and 3. I want that%u00a0chunk of pretty driftwood that I got %u00a0from a beach off the coast or Washington (we LOVE Washington)%u00a0around my neck.%u00a0
And so I made a awesome driftwood necklace.%u00a0
You should too.
The stuff you’ll need
- A cool ass piece of driftwood that you want to wear on you neck (make sure it’s smooth or else you may end up with a sliver)
- some hemp or cord the length you want you necklace plus%u00a0a%u00a0few extra inches
- a cool button
- a drill and a 3/8 (a small) bit
This project is going to take you all of about 5 minutes%u2026 so hold on tight.
Hole in wood%u2026.hemp%u00a0through hole…
Make a loop and knot on one end and sting the button and knot it onto the other end. Trim away excess hemp.
To neck.%u00a0
Oh man, we are AWESOME!
Happy Friday!
