Wrapped Necklace

[TurtlesOnAFence]

Hello The other day I made this necklace using handles from old gift bags, an old headband (the jeweled part), some embroidery thread and a button. I was inspired by the wrap bracelets on Honestly WTF. http://honestlywtf.com/ (Love that site!)







and I made a few bracelets while I was at it.

I love the raised wrapped thread pattern.

yesss I love anything thread wrapped/macrame!

I was looking at the Opening Ceremony site last night (always good to see what the world of way over-priced things is up to ) and saw some accessories by Venessa Arizaga that are kinda in this same sort of aesthetic realm, check it out ~

Id never pay that much for them, the chain/thread/colorful cord pieces look so easy to DIY

Out of curiosity ~ what sort of adhesive do you use to seal the ends of your wrapping/knots, if any? I use mostly super glue or lately a glue for outdoor umbrellas and upholstery that seems to be more flexible
