{DIY Jewelry} Bow Tie Pendant

I always say put a bow on anything and it just looks better. Who says jewelry has to be heavy and made of metal. Sometimes a lightweight bow is just the thing to bring some elegance and pizzazz to your wardrobe. Wear them at the neck with short chains or a long chain for a dangling effect. And don’t stop at just one! They look great worn together at different lengths.

You will need:

Ӣ Mini Bowdabra with Ruler
”¢ 14 inches of 2 ¼” wide wired ribbon
Ӣ Ball chain in any length (I used 18 inches and 36 inches)
Ӣ Bowdabra Bow Wire
Ӣ Ruler
Ӣ Scissors
Ӣ Glue gun and glue sticks
Ӣ Flat freshwater pearl or any flat gem stone

Instructions:

1. Gather your supplies.
