Re: Need help from you Crafty girls.. help make earrings into necklaces

I'm trying to think. You see that small gold loop? If you could cut that off from the rest, then you could put the thread through that loop to go around the neck. Does that make sense?

Do you want the 'chain' part to all be the same? Meaning, do you want them all to be on red fabric?
Honestly, it looks like there is a small metal loop on the earrings before the red fabric starts. It's hard to tell in a picture for sure, but you probably could cut off the red fabric above the metal loop. Then, try a good craft store- they would sell fabric to match the other necklace. Just put the fabric through the metal loop and you can either just tie the necklaces in a bow in the back, of you can find some metal necklace closures.
Does that help? Let me know if it's confusing.

You definately worded it better than I did! That's the same loop I was talking about though. I definately think it would work.

Actually, it still wouldn't be too hard. You'll just need to find similar small beads and then something to string them on. If you go to a place that sells beads and show them what you're trying to do, they'll be able to help you find string of some sort.
Then, same idea. Just string the beads and knot off the ends.
When they come in, FM me if you need any help with ideas.
Good luck!!

Re: Need help from you Crafty girls.. help make earrings into necklaces
if you need help send them to me and i will do it for you if you would like - it really isnt that hard - from what i see you would need to clip the earring just above the loop and then add a necklace loop so it can string sideways and add the beads - looks like 3 rows on the maid of honor one - you could keep it 3 or make the bridesmaids 2 for difference - if we can find the color beads it really shouldnt take all that long to do - maybe a few hours -
eta - i would recommend using microfilament on that - stronger than thread and easier to work with
