So, the Dragon has become quite grabby while nursing. Before I got my hair cut last weekend, I was wearing it up in a clip most of the time so I was spared the ridiculous strength of my 7.5 month old. Now that it's shorter though, I wear it down more and well...let's just say I need to keep all the hair that post-partum hair loss didn't already steal from me. The dragon also is a lot more distracted these days and these necklaces are supposed to help with that. I've seen some super cute ones for sale on the interwebs, but I wanted to try making one for less money. One of the ones I really liked on Esty was $14 plus shipping. I spent about $14 at Michaels today and I'll be able to make five necklaces with these materials (with extra cord to spare).
Here are the materials I bought:
I cut off pieces of the green, blue, and gray cords (Bamboo) and braided them together.
Next I looped the cord around a Cabone Ring that I found in the crochet section. I figured wood would be friendly for the Dragon to chew on if he so desires.
Then I threaded a blue bead on the cord and tied a knot above it.
Next, I threaded on a light blue bead, but left this one with the ability to slide up and down.
I tied the two sides together at the top. We'll see in the morning how the dragon likes it! Now I just have to choose the color combinations for the next one :)
