diy chunky beaded necklaces

see what happens when you make a side trip to Michael's during a clearance sale event?  you start making necklaces while you watch X-Factor on TV!

The inspiration = chunky beads from the sale section @ Michael's
left: My necklace made of red stone-like beads and turquoise wood beads. For some reason, it reminds me of Ariel from the Little Mermaid.
right: A yellowish gold/grey beaded necklace for my roomie (since she begged me to make her something too :P) 
This delicate necklace would look great with a t-shirt or casual button-up.

This necklace is more of a warm weather accessory, and I think I have a couple of more weeks to wear it before the weather in SF becomes gloomy and foggy again.

This fits more like a loose choker and would be perfect to wear during a tropical vacation getaway (I wish!) or an afternoon stroll in the summer. Now I need to make some necklaces for the fall and winter!
