I found this beautiful White Ribbon and Pearls Necklace over at Impel Clothing for $29.00 + shipping.
I thought, well, may be I can make one myself. So, after looking and looking at the picture I decided to look for the materials around the house. I knew I have plenty of ribbon and also the pearls so I was pretty much ready to go, until I could not find the pearls anywhere. I decided to go to Joanns Fabric Store and check for some pearls, but they did not have anything that I was amazed by, te selectiong was poor there. After Joanns I went to Sierra's Craft Store. Sierra's has so many different colors, and styles of pearls, I was in heaven for a little while, until my girl started to grab all the pearls and the employees where all over us. Anyway, the pears were pretty nice and I decided to purchase natural pearl color and light blue, beautiful. I also needed some end connector, jump rings, and clasps. So, I was glad that Sierra's had everything I needed it. I ended up spending $13.00 for two sets of pearls ($5.00 each 30 pearls in each set) $2. 50 for the other things.
