This week I'm completely winging this DIY craft project. I wanted to take a break from paint and fabric and venture into the world or jewelry. I'm the type of shopper that loves a good deal. Even if I don't really need an item, I will buy it if it's an insanely awesome deal. I was browsing through a thrift shop at the beginning of the summer and found these metal hoop thingys that can open and close — a pack of 3 different sizes — for like a quarter. As in 25 cents. As in practically nothing. Did I have any ideal what they even were? No, and I still don't to be honest. But just because I don't know what the intended use of something is sure doesn't mean it isn't fair game in the world of crafting!
So a few weeks have passed since I made my purchase of these mysterious metal hoop thingys and I've finally been inspired with an idea. I've never seen anyone do this, I didn't know if it would look good or not, but eventually someone has to give it a go, right? I decided to make them into colorful fun almost-choker necklaces by wrapping them in embroidery thread. To my pleasant surprise it ended up looking fantastic and being easy as can be! Heres how you can make yours:
Difficulty: Very Easy
Time to Craft: 1 hour
