diy inspired: Eighties Charm Necklace

Wednesday, March 19, 2014 17 Comments

Do you remember?!  DIY Inspired: Eighties Charm Necklace | @mamamissblog #eightiesstyle #retro #eightiesfashion

This idea has been floating around in my head for a couple of years at least.  So, I finally decided to purge it out of the ol’ noggin & bring it to life – annnnd it turned out better than expected!!  I’m pleased as punch with this Eighties Charm Necklace & it COMPLETELY reminds me of my pre-teen years (oh the eighties!) & rocking my fab charm necklace.  Out of all the things I wished I saved from the eighties (well, besides my hyper-color shirt), was my charm necklace – that necklace was the bomb diggity!

If you weren’t around in the eighties, perhaps you were still a twinkle in your parents eyes – charm necklaces were like the beanie babies of the nineties and the rainbow loom of this century.  Well, at least they were in my little bubble of the world – hubs claims he had never heard of them where he grew up.

I wanted to recreate my Eighties Charm Necklace in a way that everyone could make it – with simple materials & simple steps!

I’m a craft hoarder (ha-ha go figure) & have a billion gazillion of these little erasers.  I have no idea why, lol, but I do!  I tend to buy stuff when I see it, if it inspires me in some way – aka craft hoarder – because a billion things inspire me in different ways each & every day ;)

Just a few supplies are needed for this project:

  • some flat erasers, these are all very similar to, if not exactly like, the ones I used: assortment, dinosaurs, zoo animals, insects.
  • screw eyes
  • 9mm round jump rings
  • lanyard hooks
  • 30” oval link chain necklace
  • pliers for jewelry making

And it’s really very simple to make:

  • screw in a screw eye into the top of the eraser
  • attach a jump ring using your jewelry pliers
  • clip on a lanyard hook onto the jump ring
  • place charms in desired order on necklace, we used 14 erasers & spaced them two links apart.

YES!!! It really is that easy to recreate your own Eighties Charm Necklace.  And, I love it so – I’m so happy with how it turned out – it really does remind me of my long lost Eighties Charm Necklace!

    If my daughter were awake, she’d be squealing with delight!

    She recently heard about my 80’s charm necklace (saw a few pics), and she has been begging for one. We may need to make a craft store trip in the near future to make her own!

      hehe – love it!!! Check out the dollar spot at Target too – for every seasonal change they usually carry matching little erasers – I hoard them as I see them :) xo

    Oh my gosh, Melissa, what a blast from the past this is! Ha ha ha, I adore it! And, I am pretty sure my girls would go insane for this, so I might be making it very soon! I’d love to have you link this up with me for the Create & Share DIY and Recipe Party; this would make an awesome addition! I hope to see you there!

    Oh my goodness! This is simply adorable. I will have to try this with my little one. :) I am a HUGE charm girl. I have collected them for years. It would be fun to do a mother/daughter matching charm necklace. The little girl’s necklace could me made with the erasers and the moms could be a matching design but maybe made of gold or silver. My daughter and I always point out designs in the clouds so I’m thinking it would be cute to each do a cloud charm. Hers (would be the fun eraser) and I found a super cute cloud charm on Charm America
    Thanks so much for the inspiration!

    Wow, hoarding must be genetic – remember Grammy’s fabric. Cool necklace and it is so light weight too.

“Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel “Two kinds of gratitude: The sudden kind we feel for what we take; the larger kind we feel for what we give.” – Edwin Arlington Robinson

🐕💛🐈

Yesterday, V & her friend volunteered at our local animal shelter to braid beds for the shelter cats.  They then took turns reading to one of the cats, a cat who was having trouble eating that the shelter was hoping the interaction would coax him up & about.

I love that my kiddos have reached that middle school age where they can volunteer more easily without much parental help.  Our local animal shelter allows kiddos to volunteer (with a parent there) at age 10. It’s really rad to see them come into their own with understanding on how to have an active role in participating and volunteering in their community, and what a reward it is to give 🤩

Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.” - Ellen Goodman

🌟Potential.  YESSSSS 🙌🏻 I really like this quote 🌟

🧐🔍Seeing the positive first is a great mantra to have when we tend to automatically gravitate towards things that are negative.

🪄Here’s to a bright 2021 and a purposeful positive outlook. 🎉

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟 🤗 How did you HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!🌟🌟🌟

🤗 How did you celebrate the arrival of 2021? 

🎲We played board games all night (cough cough surprise surprise 🤣) while munching on this charcuterie board.

🥳I surprised Eric & the kids by going all fancy for dinner last night. I wasn’t sure the kids would like the goat cheese (my favorite with fig spread 🤤) so I added some basic cheddar. But they LOVED it - I spread a little on one of the plain crackers with fig spread on top. So good! 

🍈Fig spread, goat cheese, & 2 large crackers is from @wholefoods 
🍇Grapes are from @costco (they have the best grapes!)
🪴Rosemary springs are from our garden.
🧀Everything else is from @traderjoes

Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!! Eeeeeep I’m so excited for my happy mail today!!🤗 (now if all my other mail I’m waiting on would arrive 🧐😩)

🦀🐙🐡I backed Open Ocean from @featherstonegames on @kickstarter this summer.  It’s so incredibly neat to see a game come together from start to finish.

🐠🐟🐬This game is beautiful I can’t wait to sit to play with the kids as they become budding marine biologists.

He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n r He’s a little bit funky... a little bit rock n roll. - I’m kinda loving him though, my little abstract tree.🎄

🧵Right before my dad passed last year, during my last visit with him, he gave me this giant bag of these vintage-y wooden spools knowing that I’d use them in my art classes or some other creative way. 

🧐As I was lesson planning this weekend the idea came to me when I peeked them in my wood craftin’ drawer - CHRISTMAS TREE!! 

✂️I also have a simpler idea in mind with no wire bending/cutting to try it in my art classes as a kinda ‘extra’ project for early finishers. Stay tuned!

Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 I’m grateful th Happy Thanksgiving 🍁🦃🍽 
I’m grateful this Thanksgiving for my Dad ❤️ 

📖📖📖When he was alive I’m not sure I appreciated this book as much, but now that he’s gone it’s made me appreciate him even more that he took the time to catalog all our family recipes into two cookbooks for us to have. 

🦃🍁🍂This Thanksgiving without my mom joining us (she’s with friends this year) I was without her traditional treats like my favorite Pumpkin Cheesecake.

💪🏻So I attempted that (my first cheesecake EVER!) and Tussies (mini pecan pies) from scratch using my families recipes.  I’m so excited to dig in today and the whole time making them made me feel extremely #grateful for my Dad & all he did for his family. 💕
