Fun & Fashionable ID Badge Necklaces

The other day I was chastised by a few of my friends who read my blog regularly. They said I wasn't updating it often enough, so I'm going to try my best to blog Monday through Friday like I used to do. I may skip a day here and there, but I'm going to do my best!

Today I'd like to share with you some ID badge necklaces I made a few weeks ago for some friends who attended the Stampin' Up regionals in Arizona. Each lady had a specific request in terms of color and theme. I had so much fun creating them, and I think they came out pretty nice! If you want a personalized necklace to hold your ID badge, just shoot me an e-mail and we'll talk!

First up is an all purple necklace. I used a mix of amethyst stones and glass beads as well as Swarovski crystals to create this monochromatic look.

This next necklace is all about nature. I used olive green glass beads mixed with brown Swarovski crystals to achieve this look.

My friend also wanted to incorporate butterflies and flowers. Although it's hard to tell from the picture, there are actually hand painted pink flowers on the green glass beads that are sandwiched in between the silver bead caps.

To add in the butterfly, I used this very pretty charm to hold the entire necklace together.

Last but not least is this fun pink and green necklace. My friend wanted me to use the antique copper flower charm to hold the necklace together, so I looked in my stash and found a bunch of butterflies and round beads in that same color! To tie it all together, I adored this one with pink glass beads and Swarovski crystals.

I hope you enjoyed looking at these fun ID badge necklaces! If you're interested in having one made just for you, please send me an e-mail at nature_journey@yahoo.com. I'll have more of these necklaces to share with you later in the week. Until then, have a good one!

I enjoy your blogs, so the more the better. I like the idea of having a pretty ID-Badge holder. But I wouldn't have reason to wear it very often... Have you ever made eye-glass holders?

I like the first one the best...just browsing the old Rio Grande catalog I have here. I'm tempted to buy some beads...love how you use the Swarovski crystal beads.
