Octopus Necklace

My mom, my sister, and I got together for another jewelery making day (we had done one the week previous with my aunt), and I hadn’t really gotten anything accomplished (I was mostly helping). So, I rummaged through my bead bin and dug out some supplies that I had originally planned to use for a water tracking bracelet. But, since I don’t love when stuff dangles from my wrist, I figured I’d make a necklace instead.


(Excuse the slighty blurry photo- I tried several times and couldn’t get one that was crisp.)

To make the necklace, I added the silver beads (plus the findings and beading wire) to what I already had gathered for the bracelet.

Thank you! And, my family is pretty crafty and creative, so we have fun when we craft together. While I’ve convinced my mom (@Mumscrafts) and my sister (@michlytroi) to join Lettuce Craft, they don’t post what they’ve made, unfortunately. But they should :wink:

Thank you! When I had originally planned to make a water-tracking bracelet, I wanted colors that reminded me of the ocean… which I now realize is strange because you can’t drink ocean water… :laughing:

Thanks! Now I just need to find something to wear it with.

If you can post on FB, you can definitely do this :slight_smile:

Thanks! I kind of like how the octopus looks a little like an alien with those eyes!

The colors are perfect (even if, yeah, you should absolutely not drink ocean water! :laughing:) and I like how they are broken up with the silver. Of course, the little octopus is what makes it really fun!

Love your bead choice for this. The texture and color are perfect paired with the octopus.

Thanks, everyone! I got the two sets of colored beads from Michael’s, along with the octopus. I had the silver beads and the findings in my stash, so who know where they came from, at this point!

Congrats! Your Octopus Necklace is one of this week’s featured projects. Way to go!

Wow! What a nice surprise! Thank you!
