Simple, Boho-Chic DIY


I can't really take credit for the design of this multi-strand necklace; that would have to be attributed to DIY diva Erica Domesek and her blog, P.S. I Made This. While Erica used classic plastic pony beads and fabric strips, I opted for a sliced-up cotton t-shirt (long past its prime) and a pack of wooden beads from Michael's. String, tie, done - with the help of a wide-eyed needle, as my baubles were a bit difficult to maneuver into their setting. I love the mixture of classic glamour and free-spirited boho style in this necklace - it's like Holly Golightly got into her NYC yellow cab and ended up at the Monterey Pop Festival. (Not to mention the ease with which it will transition from summer into fall. I'm a sucker for versatility).
