I sorted through a bin of broken, tangled, & one earring missing, jewelry at my local thrift shop hang out, & came up with this necklace! They said I could have it for a mere dollar for my troubles.
Pieces were missing, & I have PLENTY of jewelry I don't even wear. So I took it apart.
Gathered my materials, Glue gun, trinkets, toilet paper rolls, burlap, twine, ... (Excuse Boo Boos paw please) Kitty photo bomb.
Cut my toilet paper rolls & burlap strips about 1 & 1/4 in. wide. Added hot glue to secure them. Rolled them into place. Then trimmed the sides.
Time to get fancy! Using twine I made each one different. It was fun to see the many ways I could wrap them, even added a couple faux pearls for embellishments. .
They turned out very pretty for my Autumn table settings.
Can you tell they started out as costume jewelry?
Enjoyed the project?

KT on Oct 18, 2016I saw this before and the crafter first wrapped a plastic bag around the roll of toilet tissue to make it rounder.
