Anthro necklace knock off- Tried it out Thursday

Good morning! It's almost Friday. This week I tried out Beverly's tutorial at Flamingo Toes for the Anthro Pernilla knock off. By the way, this necklace is no longer available at Anthro, so I consider the tutorial for it highly valuable.





Here's the Anthro version, just for comparison:

The tutorial is very easy to follow. I'm not sure I'd understand it all if I had not made a few necklaces before, but most could follow this with no prior experience.

I did a few things differently:

I used only twelve large silver beads. I think mine are larger than hers. They came from Michael's, along with these other supplies:

Rose Quartz Semi Precious Stone beads
Crystazzi 6mm pearls white
Blue Moon Beads glass/ shell mix Natural Elegance in brown
Blue Moon Beads chain
 
I only used about 20 shells. So don't think you have to use the exact same item or number of something to follow a tutorial. Use it as a guide and make it yours. Go make an Anthro Pernilla necklace- it's easy and you can't buy it anyway (even if you wanted to spend $189).

Check out another Anthro knockoff HERE

I'll be linking up here:
