How To: Make A Ribbon Necklace

Posted on by Elyse Duffey

Hey all! It’s Emily Lanham here with a quick project & tutorial just in time for New Years! I am a fan of jewelry, but I rarely buy it. I love the match certain pieces to what I wear when I go out, but sometimes it’s hard to find the perfect match.

So why not make your own accessories to go out in this New Years Eve?

Now I am by no means a jewelry maker, but if I can do it, so can you!

You will need ribbon, chain, and your choice of beads and other embellishments.

Start off by looping 2 pieces of ribbons through the ends of your chain. I used the 1.5″ Silky/Crush ribbon. Tie knots in both strands of ribbon close to the top leaving just enough on the ends to tie a bow with.

Tie a bow with the ends of the ribbon and cut/seal the ends to prevent fraying.

If you chose to add beads, you can thread them through clear bead cord and tie them onto the chains.

Here’s the beads that I chose… I wanted to match the ribbons and papers that I was using so I made a little assortment to add extra color to the necklace.

Next, I wanted to add some variety with pattern paper, so I got out my Round 14 tool from Epiphany Crafts and made a few clear epoxy punches.

I added these to the Epiphany Crafts metal settings.

Next, I took some pieces from the chain and added the metal settings to the chain.

There you have it! The perfect accessory to wear to a New Years Eve party this year!
