Every time a holiday comes around where I have to make something for my mom, I always feel like I need to top the last handmade gift I gave her. Her birthday was no different. I decided to do something I haven't done in a long time, which is make jewelry. I took some pretty paper, cut it into a long "banner" shape, and made paper beads with it. I then coated each bead with mod podge and let them dry overnight.
Next came the actual necklace making process. Something ELSE I haven't done in years. I ended up taking the necklace apart countless times. I couldn't tell you how many beads I dropped, either. Eventually, I got it all to come together, with my nerves barely in tact. LOL
I had to make a gift box and card to match, of course. She loved everything, and I loved making it for her.
Don't be afraid to try something you haven't done in a while. You might pleasantly surprise yourself! :)
