When I first saw this necklace, I was totally obsessed. I pinned it on Pinterest and knew it would be something I was going to copy. Today is that day!

I began with two very important ingredients...embroidery floss and wire!

I went with a 16 gauge wire because I wanted something thick enough to match the Anthro necklace and something that wouldn't bend on its own.

I took my jewelry pliers and started to bend it like Beckham!!

After using some elbow grease, my LOVE was formed!

I grabbed the embroidery floss and began to wrap, making a knot at the very end of the L loop and weaving around.

I think for the next necklace, wrapping the floss around the wire pre-bending may go faster, however this method didn't take too long. I added a dab of glue to the end of the thread to make it stiffer as I weaved it around the letters.

I wanted to make a tassel to match as well, so I took five matching lengths of thread (about three-four inches), weaved them through a jump ring...

...and made two knots to keep them in place.

I grabbed the rest of my jewelry making tools (another jump ring and some chain)...

...added jump rings to the loop in the L and the loop in the E...

...and used pliers to close the rings and finish up! Voila!!

I mean, it looks pretty similar, right?

The beauty of this kind of necklace is that you can make any word/name you'd like and pick the thread color of your choice!! I just might make a few other ones next weekend...
