I had a golden name necklace when I was about four years old. Did you too??!! (Am I giving my age away now??? Yes, it was long time ago.) ;Well, these old fashioned name necklaces are back. Big time!!
How so? New York Celebrities are wearing these instead of the LA glam girls’ beaded leather friendship bracelets I showed you last week. First it was Sarah Parker who wore it in the ‘S__ and the City’ show, then Beyonce, Christina Aguilera, Nicki Minaj, and then there were many others.
You? Nahh…
NAME TAG NECKLACE – REDEFINED.
Here’s something better. A name tag necklace with a twist. Super creative girl, Yuka Yoneda, who writes at Clossette, came up with a much more original idea, which I think is more sophisticated than that predictable little girl’s name tag.
How about recycling your old credit gold card into THIS FASHION STATEMENT?
Love it, make it. 5 minutes flat.
So cool.
Necklace Making Step by Step Instructions:
It is pretty self explanatory: take an old credit card and cut out your name (leave a bit extra on either side of your name, so that you can add 2 tiny holes (one on each side of your name). You can use a small hole puncher for that. Add a charm ring to each hole, and string the rings onto a simple aluminum pearl bead necklace.
If you have MANY credit and store cards that you’d like to recycle, try making this popular mosaic mirror.
