Ribbon Necklace

It's 5 days until Christmas...

Have you been ready since October or are you

frantically running around tying up loose ends?

I tend to get really organized and

productive about 3 months in advance.

Then I relax, thinking,

"I have so much time to get the rest

accomplished, I'll just take a break."

(Like the hare in the race against the tortoise!)

And because I feel so good about how much I've done,

I let the days slip away, until it's 2 weeks to Christmas

and I have a list a mile long filled with all of the

782 "little things" that I didn't think about 3 months ago!

In case I'm not alone in this organized/chaotic planning,

I thought I'd share a super easy,

yet perfectly pretty last-minute gift.

This ribbon necklace can be put

together in under 30 minutes!

(Sorry for the black/white shot. I had to take the photo at night and my

kitchen lights were turning the damask backdrop into a radioactive green!

Either way, the necklace is black!)

After picking up a roll of satin ribbon and a string of beads,

I followed this tutorial to make it as a gift for a friend.

If you are in need of a last minute gift for

a sister or friend I highly recommend this project!

Here are a couple other quick and easy necklaces to try:
