Copycat
Last Christmas my friend C's very fashionable sister handed her a picture cut out from a catalog, it was a picture of a necklace that she *loved* and wanted. A perfect gift for a mere $388.00.
After recovering from sticker shock, C handed it to me, "yeah right." I looked at it, "You know...I could totally make this...I could get all these beads." C looked at me... "DO it!"
Well, last Christmas season got a bit hectic for me...so it didn't happen. I found the picture again recently, and for kicks I found all of the supplies I would need to do this. Along with the shipping costs from the different places they came from it did come to $85.00. A lot more than I had thought, but, still a bargain compared to $388.00. C still wanted to go for it. (She is a good sister. :)
It came out pretty dern good, if I do say so myself. Of course I can see flaws, and if I had to do it again, blah blah blah...but I am my own worst critic.
