Dollar Store pearl necklaces
+
Doilies (these things are everywhere!)
+
Random buttons, bead, and bows.....
Glue them all together with a glue gun (shhh!)....
And tell people it came from Anthropologie. (Not really, lying is bad!)
And If you're too couture to wear a necklace that involves hot glue, you can just use this idea for dress up jewelry for your toddler! :o)
*Edited to add: Just to clear things up a little, this is not how I make the bib necklaces I sell. I usually hand stitch them on. :o)

That's so cute! and easy too! I tried your dollar store ruffle shirt for my little one, she is wearing it right now! You have some great ideas, thanks for sharing them!
It's awesome!
Really, someone's too couture for hot glue?? :)
OK, so can we meet up at the dollar store on your next visit - LOL There's some stuff I think I need!
So cute, I love it. Cheap and easy-- just the way I like my crafts:)
I'm just not sure I'm "hip" enough to pull off that look...but it sure is awesome! x
Adorable!!!...better then Anthro!:)

I just discovered your blog through u create with your paper dolls. You have some great ideas. I just added you to our fun blog list. Thanks!
I'm making this tomorrow... when you posted the pics of jewelry with bibs on them before I was puzzled at how you attached it! Thanks for sharing such wonderful how-to's :)

Oh this is so cute and I bet the one at Anthropologie involve some type of glue too. Hot glue is a beautiful thing.
Those are AWESOME! Thanks for the idea, I'm definitely trying this!
LOVE this idea! Fabulous! Best wishes, C :).
So J.Crew like! I love it, mind if I borrow the idea?
Love your blog!
I really want to try this one! Gosh, I wish you taught classes...
I liked it very much and hope to try it one day with old pieces at home :)
I came over from Skip to my Lou. I use sweaters to make mittens. You should Google recycled mittens wool and see if you find them. I found a video from Channel 5 in Utah by doing this and I love to make wool mittens right now. With your pattern I can make hats and scarves, too. I am super excited to find you!
Beautiful!
cute as usual. i decided to feature this one too!!! you are amazing!
help...this might sound crazy but i don't know where to find the fabirc doilies (im not a doilie type gal)... my brothers girlfriend would love something like this for christmas. thanks!
I never look down on hot glue.
All I have to say is these are SUPER CUTE. I love them, what a great idea! I might make some of these for a holiday gifts, thanks for the idea! And love the gray sweater you are wearing in the picture!
This is such a fun idea and a pretty way to use a doily. I love this how-to, I'll be linking.
i'm too distracted by the lovely shirt/sweater!

Thank you! It's Eddie Bauer, but I got it on Ebay so I'm not sure how old it is!

Hi...I made one that night, and was so happy I had the perfect focal for it! But then I lost it, I think a puppy carried it off :(
If I find the pretty button cover, I'll finish it; or find another pretty to use! Sorry it's not finished, but I wanted to let you know how easy and quick this project was, and I can't wait to wear it!
Thank you,
kudzu

Hihi, "and tell everybody its from Anthropology". You made me giggle. But seriously, those necklaces are very close to the stuff A sells, not being difficult to put together but with that special indie-yet-elegant-touch that somehow makes them seem worth 30 bucks. I LOVE that you taught us how to do this ourselves. Thanks!
Glued or not, the design is fabulous! It looks expensive for sure. I will link in an upcoming post.
Yep, The Beading Gem linked and I found. I too create mostly with needle and thread; but also am lucky enough to have craft time with a young mom and her 7 yo daughter. Using the doily and buttons, lace and bows with a ready made pearl necklace will be a fun project for IsSeven - may inspire some hand sewing too. Whether we glue or sew, will be a great entry for the county fair.
Oops, got so excited by the idea of crafting with younun' forgot to say thank YOU for sharing this idea. Much appreciate it. Hugs, Jane
