bubble gum necklaces

These are some bubblegum necklaces I decided to try my hand at. For anyone that doesn't know what that is, evidently it is term used for very chunky necklaces for little girls where the beads are big and look like bubblegum balls. I found online where some people actually make them out of real gum balls. Elle, my granddaughter, just loves them! I found that buying beads in bulk online is cheaper than buying from the craft stores in our area. These are not cheap to make either way in my opinion. I think for 8 necklaces the total came to about $125 after purchasing the wire, a 3 in 1 tool, a bead board (which I highly recommend), clasps, and beads. It took very little time to make these. These were very fun to make!

 This one Turned out to be my favorite.

Here is Elle showing off one of the necklaces!
