It amazes me that a single, random item can be made into something beautiful and something so unexpected!! Kayla G made this necklace out of a placemat.

Would have never guessed, now would you?

She mixed the wooden bars from the placemat with x-small round paper beads.

It was a little tricky getting the necklace to curve at the neckline. Therefore she had to add more beads to the bottom row which helped the necklace to curve.

The necklace came out so cool. It had an earthy yet chic look to it.

Now that Kayla G has inspired you to make something out of something that you have laying around the house… What are you going to make????
