I saw a ribbon and pearls necklace on Pinterest from J Crew. I pinned it and thought it would be easy to make. Then Disney at Ruffles and Stuff did a tutorial on super simple necklaces. It was the same concept and it inspired me to try it myself.

Here is my version

I found this pearl necklace at a garage sale for 75 cents. I got with this project in mind.

First I took of this clasps with pliers. I saved the pieces in case I ever want to put it back together.

Then I cut 6 pieces of white and 6 pieces of black of this skinny ribbon.

I made a knot at the end of each side of the pearl necklace and knotted the other end to keep the strands together. Then I ran a flame from a lighter on each end to keep the ribbon from fraying.

Here is the finished product

The first one was so easy I started looking through my jewelery box for another necklace. I picked out this one. Every time I put it on I wish it was a little longer so I knew it would work.

I doubled it up and used one strand of this thicker ribbon.

I knotted the necklace on each side and placed the knot over the clasp to hide it. I also ran the lighter over the ends of the ribbon again.

Here is the finished product

I love how they are adjustable to make them longer or really long. This project was so easy I am still eyeing up my other necklaces to see if I want to transform another.
