DIY: Jersey Wrapped Pearl Necklace & Knotted Headwrap


click to enlarge

While browsing Style Bubble, I discovered some beautiful jewelry by a designer by the name of Maria Lau. One of the peices, however, especially caught my eye because of it's simplicity to recreate -- a jersey knit wrapped pearl necklace! Sew some tubes of jersey knit big enough to cover the pearls, but tight enough to show off their curvature. String the pearls, then encase them with the tubes. Finish of the closure, and you're complete!

I was about to purchase this knotted headwrap at Urban Outfitters, but I stopped myself thinking I could make it myself. I have a love for headbands/headscarves/headwraps! Sew a tube of fabric a little longer than the circumference of your skull, tie a knot in the middle, iron down to crease the sides, and then sew the ends together. Viola! =P
