* Continue until you reach desired length. I made mine 15″ long …or make a choker or collar bone piece or bracelet instead

* When you reach desired length, reinforce the pearls by threading the needle back through the entire length of the pearls/ribbon. I like to make sure it’s there for good 😉

* Tie a loose knot in the ribbon at the end of the pearls just to finish it off

This was one of four DIYs I created for the M&J Trim Challenge in June and for some reason I never posted this one. It’s very easy.

Have Fun!
