In the 90’s we all wore short single strands of seed bead necklaces with our school uniforms, particularly in Rasta colors or multi-colored hues, but I recall having a black and white one as well. When you wear a uniform to school, you tend to try to accessorize in ways that make you stand out as an individual, even if all your friends are wearing the same exact ones
and even if it warrants you a detention. I’m sure I made all of my necklaces because seed beads are fun and easy like that, I was broke, and you know I’ll make anything I can.
While we generally tend to see Native American seed bead patterns year round as a style choice and pop up at outdoor music festivals and the like, I’m seeing new colorful designs spread out over all categories of style at the moment and have chosen a few images that really stand out over the rest. While this may be a great DIY inspiration post, oftentimes seed bead accessories are on the more affordable side, depending on where you go to find them. {Find my hanging seed bead hair clip DIY here}
