I love the look of unfinished wooden beads so I figured, I’d make a simple strand necklace out of them. This one was super easy, like, Kindergarten/Summer Camp easy. It ended up working out perfectly because with all the neon I’ve been wearing lately (Never thought I’d be saying that, kinda weird) I needed something to tone it down a bit and I love the look of natural colors and textures with a pop of bright.

All you’ll need is about a cord of some kind (I used leather), about 40-50 wooden beads and about 5 minutes.

If you are looking for some more cool ideas, I rounded up some of my faves.
