I needed a birthday gift for one of my daughter's friends. I like to dabble in crafts and like to save money, so I decided to make something. I have recently made some washer necklaces and decided to post about it this time.
They are easy to make!
Pick up a few washers at Wal-Mart or dig through your hardware box at home. I used a Steel Stamping Set from Harbour Freight to make the name on the larger washer. I imprinted the year on the smaller washer.
Then used a black sharpie to highlight the imprints a little. After darkening the imprint, I used a paper towel with a little rubbing alcohol to clean off excess ink.
The necklace chain is a piece of leather cord. You can also use chain or ribbon.
I took three barrel beads to secure the leather cord and add some decoration.
The gift was a hit and also quite affordable!
Save Money - be Thrifty!
