Do you have an old teddy? Are you a fan of Charlie Bears?
Today's project is to make your favourite bear a necklace using wooden beads, buttons, a brass bell or an old key. You could try using charms off a broken necklace or any mis-matched buttons you have in the sewing box.
Keep any pieces of lovely ribbon and you could make something like this for your bear.

This bear (see below) I bought at an afternoon car boot and he was stuffed in a box with toy cars, doll's clothes and a wooden boat.

I made his necklace from a piece of waxed cord and a handful of old buttons.
Here is another necklace (see below) which I made from wooden beads, cord and jute. The little heart pendant came off a broken charm necklace.

Once you have your beads and buttons ready, all you need is something to thread them with. Many craft shops sell waxed cord - £15 a reel - or leather thonging for £60 a reel.
*Tip: I used garden twine, a brass bell and wooden beads in this project as I wanted that prim, rustic look.
If you wanted to make a necklace, I am happy to provide you with all the items you require.
The kits can be ordered in any colour you want.
