colorful,
and definitely playful one!

What you need:
Go to the closest toys store and treat yourself with 4 small superballs and one slightly bigger.
Do you have some leather cord? I thought so.
And a drill, for that we have dads/husbands/brothers ;) !!!
1* Because I didn't have a way to keep the superball in place while drilling, without the risk of drilling into my own fingers, I taped the superballs on the corner of a scrap piece of wood.2* After the drilling, this is how it's going to look like, powdery and smells like burned plastic!
3* There now you have 5 giant rubber beads!
4* Tie a knot at about 2/3 of your leather cord.
5* Pass the leather cord into your rubber beads/ superball
6* Tie another knot
7* Repeat for 4 more times and... voila'!
Tie a knot on both ends of the leather cord and you're ready to sport your new necklace !
have fun!

This is too cute. Really like this idea of using superballs and getting to pick out patterns that I like!

ReplyDeletewould it bounce when you trow that necklace on the floor ?
yes, it still does!!!! :) xox, d.
DeleteYou come up with the craziest ideas! So fun. Love your solution for drilling into them, I was wondering how you'd do it with the ball flying across the room. Great project~

Taping the superballs on the corner of a scrap piece of wood while drilling is a great idea! I would never figure it out by myself.
ReplyDelete:) I asked my husband to keep the ball in place while drilling, he told me I was out of my mind! so I had to come up with something else!!! LOL!!! xox, d.
