Monday Mini Project: Washer & Ribbon Necklace

This is a great, frugal, unique project and I just fell in love with it. It’s brought to you by Meagan at Nestled, hope you enjoy!

I’ve been seeing this necklace on Pinterest a lot lately and it sparked my interest. It only takes two supplies to make; metal washers and grosgrain ribbon, both of which I had already, so I decided to give it a whirl. I wore it yesterday and really loved it! Here’s a quick tutorial:

 

You will need:

20 – 30 1″ metal washers (I used 24. Use more or less to make it the length you want.)

5/8″ wide grosgrain ribbon, about 1 yard

Step 1:

Thread your ribbon up through washer #1, leaving enough ribbon on the end to tie the necklace when it’s finished.

Step 2:

Thread the ribbon down through the top of washer #2.

Step 3:

Thread the ribbon back down through washer #1.

Step 4:

Pull the ribbon tight, so washer #2 is laying flat on top of washer #1.

Step 5:

Thread the ribbon back up through washer #2.

Step 6:

Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each additional washer. Once you’ve threaded all your washers onto the ribbon, tie the two ends of the ribbon together and trim off the excess. Finished! Easy, right?
