Granted, the idea of making jewellery from embroidery thread might seem like something best left to preteens, but this tutorial thought up by the clever stylists at Honestly...WTF might just change your mind!
They have come up with a devilishly simple idea for a exotic, colour blocking dream of a necklace that's super stylish and inspired by high fashion.
We had a quick scout round online for more ideas too...
How about wrapping rings instead and connecting them with findings like this Aziza necklace at Oliver Bonas? Or replacing the washers with wrapped rings like this one from Dorothy Perkins (below)? FYI: for more elborate style rings, check out Dorset button making!
This bracelet by Proenza Schouler looks totally DIYable thanks to this tutorial too! Just add a carabiner (and you thought they were only for rock-climbing and other adrenaline-fueled activities!) :)
See, knot to be sniffed at at all . . . and a great use of left over embroidery thread!
