DIY tribal necklace tutorial
For this DIY project, I was inspired by the tribal and african trend. Using embroidery thread, this wrap necklace technique is very easy and can be used for bracelets or hair braids as well... it gives you a blank canvas for you to let your creativity loose! Pick your colors, create your own pattern and gooo crazy!
Material needed:
- At least 6 colors of embroidery thread
- Shoe laces
- Bolts and nuts
- Scissors
- Clasp or button
Difficulty: 2/5

1 mai 2012This is so amazing. I have one question…how are the bolts/nuts secured? Glued? Woven in or do they stay put just sliding them onto the cord? First time reader of your blog! Thanks to M & J Trim! :)

1 mai 2012Hi Robin! Thanks for your comment! I slide the nuts onto the cord and finish the end with a clasp. You can make a knot to make sure they won’t fall of if your clasp breaks! :)

8 juillet 2012Hyeeee, I just wonder on how did u act start the wrap? Did all the threads used to wrap the shoe lace came from the combined one or u simply cut a new one? and wrap it over? I am so excited to try this, but I have some questions in my head. Thanksss :)
