DIY: THE MACRAME FRINGE NECKLACE

i stumbled upon this necklace/belt in the most recent Free People magazine and decided it had to be mine. the only thing standing between me and this necklace was the hefty $198 price tag. you know what that means in christy world. DIY PROJECT!!!


after studying the picture i decided to go for it. i took a solo mission to Michaels last weekend, found all the right supplies and went to town.




a little macrame. a little beading. and voila.
sure it's a little jankier than the free people version, but it was way more fun to figure out how to make it than just buying another necklace.
oh. and waaaaaaaay cheaper.
