Step 2: Creating the Pendant

1. Cut six 2 inch straw pieces and stick together on a magazine page, using it as a base.
2. Then, cut diagonally to the center,thus forming a triangle shape .

Step 3: Decorating Your Pendant .

You can be very creative with this step .

Here is an idea of how you can do it :

1. Start by painting the pendant pink.
2. Then ,some metallic blue and black at the tips .
3. Finally, add a bit of purple on the top to give it some depth.

Step 4: Assemble the Necklace!

Use the seed beads and make a necklace.

Important: Make sure the necklace fits nicely on your neck and isn't on the verge of suffocating you .

Step 5: Attaching the Pendant to the Necklace .

1. String a needle through the pendant . Use tweezers to help you.
2. Loop the thread over the necklace and through the pendant, securing it .
3. Tie a knot in the end to make sure it won't come off.
4. Use Blue permanent marker to camouflage the thread and any touchups required.

Step 6: Making It Reversible.

Paint the back a different color so that you have a 2 in 1 necklace.

Don't color the back with permanent marker like I did because it will stain your clothes .
