Looking for some jewelry that makes a big statement without being too over-the-top?  Make necklaces to match any outfit with this tutorial from Kerri at How Does She?, who used a little sewing and knotting to turn strips of fabric and a bag of marbles into fun, bright baubles.   If you can sew a straight line, you can make these necklaces, and it’s a great way to use up those fabric scraps you’ve been saving.  And if you sew up the fabric part in advance, the rest of the process would make a fabulous activity to do with kids at a sleepover or party!  [how to make a marble and fabric necklace]
