My Inner Socilite is loving this...
I finally made something for myself! :D Its so rare for me to do something for myself, but after watching this tutorial on YouTube I knew I was going to have to make one for me! My only problem is what color. I almost went with my birthstone color, but decided that black goes with everything!

This was a quick project and I think Kelly did a great job of explaining this. I would say that if your interested in trying out some beading this might be something you should try. Its fairly inexpensive, I bought most of my supplies today for about$ 14. Mind you I didn't have to buy Stretch Magic or the Illusion Cord. I spent $7.50 on the 5mm silver & Crystal Roundelles, The 6mm glass bicones cost me $2.50 and the 3mm glass Roundelles cost me $4.00.
However if your starting from scratch...Stretch Magic (.5mm Elastic Line) should cost you about $5 for a small roll and you can pick up the Illusion Cord (nylon fishing line) for about $3. So total project cost: $22 and you will have some extrasleft over.
If you choose to use Swarovski's or Crystalzazzis the price will increase, but the color choices are a bit more varied. But if your on a budget there are plenty of Glass colors and finishes that will catch your eye.
