Autumn Inspired Necklace

Ava and I made this pretty going-away-present for her Grandma. Ava picked up the acorn from our backyard and I made it into a bead using a little bit of cord wrapped around the stem and then secured with some krazy glue. We used the same cording and some pretty wooden beads to complete the necklace.

The two ends have a bead tied to them and are secured with more krazy glue. Putting one of the beads on a small loop, makes it possible to close the necklace by simply pushing the other bead through the loop, and allowing gravity to do the rest. Very simple.

Yes, that’s one of our painted autumn paper sacks which we used to present the necklace.
