Morning friends! Not sure why this retake on an old trend went viral but I'm sure glad it did. I've always loved fabric covered beads and years ago when folks started using old neckties to create necklaces, I was immediately drawn in. It has been a while since these types of necklaces were popular, but they were always in the back of my mind so I decided to try to update them with something. First I tried charms to echo the bandana charm necklace trend but it just didn't work. Next I tried wrapping between the wooden beads with seed beads. It didn't quite look right. Finally I tried caging the beads with several rows of seed beads in matching and contrasting colors. BOOM! I showed it to my friend Carmi and she said 'GO FOR IT!" These are the result. Take a peek and let me know what you think in the comments, ok! Big love, Mark!
