I was at GASC Chattanooga last Friday, and two hip, lovely women walked by wearing beautiful necklaces. I commented on their artsy jewelry, and Juli, who created them, said they were super easy and cheap to make. She used panty hose (!), two washers, a magnet, a circle punch and patterned paper scraps. She promised to bring me one the next day. And she did and I love it!

Here's how to make the necklace.

• Cut a thin horizontal strip of black panty hose.
• Knot it through a little washer from the hardware store.
• Glue a strong magnet to the washer.
• Use a circle punch to create two different patterned circles and glue them to a washer of the same size.
• Attach the magnet to the decorated washer. Flip sides to match your outfit.

These would make great Christmas gifts, and they'd take no time at all to make.

Thanks, Juli, for sharing your art and for being such a great GASC volunteer! Hope to see you in Chattanooga again next year.

Best,
Beth
