Anthropologie Bonheur Necklace Tutorial

A few months ago (okay, six), I posted a photo of an Anthropologie-inspired necklace I made on a whim. I had a few requests for a tutorial, and I know it took me FOREVER… but here it is!
A few things to note:
- I strung the pearls on one 64″ strand of jewelry wire, folded in half. You can use two completely separate strands of pearls if you don’t want to deal with the hassle of figuring out the jewelry clasp and all that.
- If you aren’t familiar with using a lighter to seal the edges of fabric, be extremely careful. You don’t actually have to touch the flame to the fabric to singe it and make it curl up, and you can easily catch the entire thing on fire.
- Also, for the love of all that is holy, pin back your bangs. Hairspray + Flame = Bad Times. I’m speaking from experience.

looks just like the one from Anthropologie! Thanks for the tutorial!!

I’m impressed. It turned out beautifully. What would you say the cost of your version was compared to the Anthropologie one?

Melissa: Let me know if you do and how it turns out!
That is All: Thank you, my dear!
Andrea: Thanks so much! I had all the materials already, but I’d say it comes out to around $10, and the original costs somewhere around $60, I believe.

your amazingness never ceases to leave me amazed.
or you know what I’m trying to say, YOU’RE RIDICULOUS!!!
This turned out so freaking awesome, I love the step by step photos you took and the font you used is so pretty/cute! And I love the color (duh) annnnnnd I want those little lily/lotus bowls that the beads are sitting in, GIMME.
Also? Your emo pose in the last picture? loves it. I’m not gonna lie, you made me giggle but then I shut the heck up as soon as I saw that gorgeous finished masterpiece hanging around your neck.
I bow down.

Wow! That is really beautiful, you make it look so easy, so here’s hoping (fingers crossed) can’t wait to try this!

I LOVE this, and I bet it took a lot more to come up with this than the ease of your tutorial. Though I was originally here to check these out, I love your blog! I imagine people tell you this everyday, but you really are a superb crafter, with a good sense of humor too! That combination is rare, somehow. Ok, the novel ends here!

Wow, that is beautiful. Thanks for sharing! I have a new weekly link up carnival you might be interested in called Make it, Wear it. Stop on by and check it out!

I LoVe Anthropologie and I LoVe this necklace/tutorial! I’ve sworn to challenge myself to create a ribbon necklace one of these days but I think I’ll make this first!

I am also an Anthropologie fan. Just an awesome tutorial!! Thanks for sharing. I will link in an upcoming blog post.

I’m new to your blog and am a fellow crafter of cuteness. Very impressed with this necklace. I try and recreate cardigans from Anthro, but I’ve never tried a necklace. Made it last night (thanks to your tutorial). Plan on wearing it this weekend with a simple black top and black pants so it really stands out. Thanks for the great idea!
