Here is a necklace that I made that was originally inspired by the sweet & crafty Khadija from Creative Mind's cute spring-inspired
necklace - I loved her use of ribbon in the necklace and I couldn't wait to try my own version, so here it is!
I used Khadija's "pattern" for the most part, just with my own little tweaks here and there. As for the rest, I used beads and a pendant that I had in my beading supply. Fortunately I had those red round beads that matched the ribbon exactly. :)
Meet my little hippo model:
As cute as she is, I probably really need to get myself one of those necklace display "doll" neckline thingies, huh?
