finally all those summer camp days of makin the box & double box lanyards will pay off, it's literally the same technique just different material being used! #amazing thank you so much shirley for this -3

@jesssicaabeauty 12 лет назад

You need to make more videos Shirley!your one of the few gurus i love to watch because your very chic and classy and seem like such a sincere person!Much love all the way from Texas!

@eightyninetreasure 10 лет назад

I remember making these with the colorful plastics as a child. There was even the Chinese staircase that twirled around. Using this design with fabric is brilliant :)

@silentbahamabeauty 12 лет назад

Good girl Shirley! You are creative, fashionable and humble - beautiful straight through.

@mstamalaj 12 лет назад

i used to do this on lanyard when i was younger. we called it the box. such a great idea for a necklace! i will definitely try this soon! i can only imagine how many different colors and patterns can be made. cool idea, thanks for sharing!

@mzzgoodie 12 лет назад

I used to make key chains like that during summer camp. Who knew that would actually be useful! Beautiful!

@_SkyeLer 11 лет назад

And here I was thinking making a necklace would be hard. This has opened my eyes to so many possibilities. Thanks =)!

@StudioAnnLe 12 лет назад

Very cute! You did a fantastic job with it and your choice of color is beautiful. I loved that salmon/coral-ish shade.

@Slyckchica2 11 лет назад

OMG. This a just like an adult version of the old school key chains we use to make in middle school (early nineties) lol wonderful job luv. can't wait to try it.

@45suad 12 лет назад

Honestly i have to left thumbs and couldn't do a DIY to save my life, but i just love watching your videos your so ethereal and pleasant. Your just enjoyable to watch!!

@angiedj62 9 лет назад

I stumbled onto this while youtube surfing and I can't wait to try it. I'm glad I already know how to do the box knot. I would have never thought to do it with fabric. Now I know what I can do with that bag of tee shirts that are taking up space in my closet. Thanks for the idea.

@0blahblahbullshit0 11 лет назад

This is by far the best type of music for videos like this and wonderful tutorial by the way - definitely subscribed.

@MsO-16 12 лет назад

It's like making a basic box stitch with lanyard but with fabric!! Cool!! I wouldve never thought to do something like this... really good!!

@cherryfolk 12 лет назад

About five or six years ago I learned how to make "scooby doos" (as they were called), and I love that this is exactly the same method, only being used to make something so clever! Thank you for this lovely tutorial- it was clear, concise, and you obviously put a lot of effort into making sure it came across that way. Well done to you! The necklace turned out brilliantly, and I'm so excited to try it myself- I've so many scraps of fabric from old DIY jobs that had no use until now! xo

@mamalisa5178 12 лет назад

How cute. Its the key chains we used to make in middle school. I've never thought to make a necklace out of it. Thanks for the idea.

@acrystalbyrd 12 лет назад

Oh cool! That process is the same as braiding those lanyard key-chains everyone used to carry in elementary and middle school. I loved making those! (I don't know if you all did over there but in the US it was pretty popular) That is such a cute idea! Thanks Shirley :)

@rerecmbraggs 11 лет назад

Wow. I never knew how easy it could be to make those yourself. I can't wait to try it.

@JessA2712 12 лет назад

I LOVE YOU FOR THIS SHIRLEY OMG. My mum would always complain that i buy too many for unreasonable prices, and I was about to buy some today, then i saw this, saved me a lot of money & you should really do some more accessories jewelery

@remixedv 12 лет назад

This video reminds me of summer camp as a kid. Loved making those keychains. You could make all the styles. Great Video.

@healthy1bobogh 12 лет назад

The best DIY i've seen so far....on RU-vid.

@Jamafrikan876 12 лет назад

Did one just yesterday with scrap turquoise jersey from another project, only made the chain a bit longer, and used clasps instead of chain hooks...TOTALLY LOVE IT! Will try again, more DIYs please:)

@RoCoLaNe 12 лет назад

This is really cool and if the chain tarnishes you can easily swap it. Great video Shirley!

@ShirleyBEniangxo 12 лет назад

I absolutely love that you all are coming up with ideas too! Got one to do a black and white checkered effect, an ankara effect and leather effect! The ombre would look amazeballs! :D xxx

@SunnyDelight0188 12 лет назад

Shirley you are so creative and artsy!!!! the necklace you made is actually better than Monki's necklace. thank you for sharing your technique with us, you are the best!!!!

@LTTPUK 11 лет назад

Hi Shirley - love that you're using stuff from the hardware store. I do some industrial style jewellery with ring pulls, rivets and washers etc. Anyway, this is proper bonkers - love it!! And love the progressive house sound track too - keep going!!

@lilaalabed2527 5 лет назад

WOW! What a beautiful necklace! Those scissors are HUGE! I was so afraid you would hurt yourself. Thank you for sharing.

@Beautarie 8 лет назад

@Mwalissa 12 лет назад

Omgosh! when you said DIY i thought you were just going to slap on the hooks on some unused headband.lol this was too awesome for words!

@bisiesweets 12 лет назад

@MissDottyPerkins 12 лет назад

@MzSandraAmika 12 лет назад

Love the fact that your now doing DIY videos. Love this design youve created. It's just like doing scooby-doos back in the day lol. Love it, and the finishing look looks like its been shop bought, perfect. x

@devondevan 11 лет назад

Genius! I remember doing those for key chains. Never thought for upgrading to real jewels. lol So inspired, thanks

@Martina_E 12 лет назад

I didn't have any fabric so I used an old jersey material shirt. I didn't have S hooks and chains so I uses my wire string. I made to a coral one like yours and an ombre coral one. It came out so awesome!!! Love your DIY videos and your channel :-)

@kshel104 11 лет назад

Your necklace turned out beautiful! Very creative!

@AFRICANEXPORT 12 лет назад

I love this , and I love it even better because you chose the jersey material vs. rope or twine. Great video and DIY Shirley. *HUGS

@ItsNadNad 12 лет назад

This is so cool! I remember using the same techniques to make 'Scooby doo' key chains back when I was a kid

@SleepyJho 12 лет назад

OMG I remember me and my friends making these when we were kids!!! they were all over my backpack as keychains... took me back to my childhood lol :')

@thatfashiongeek87 12 лет назад

OO I'm soooo making this over the weekend!! I've been on a crafting/DIY frenzy lately!! BTW we call it "the box" we do that knot with plastic lanyard (well I did at camp as a child)!

OMG!!! you are so gifted, I love your style!!!

@Portabamini 12 лет назад

To be honest, I think it looks much better than the original, a great statement piece. This is very inspiring, thanks v. much for the clear and concise tutorial! It's like a giant "scooby doo". I love how the 'S' is like 'S' for Shirley. :3 One of the best DIYs I've seen.

@mamaolu 12 лет назад

Just checked out the original necklace, you did an awesome job!!!!! I love yours....

@gypsygypsygypsyism 12 лет назад

oh my ! I subscribed for more like this! I love your atmosphere so neat. This is like using gimp and doing land yard stitches. I am so excited I want to do this !!!

@MyCanne 11 лет назад

Have made a necklace like this a couple of years ago, but used grosgrain ribbon, it was fabby. Great idea to use t-shirting, this could be an up cycle project for my friends Guides group.

@JadeRabb1 12 лет назад

This is just like the gimp I used to play with when i was younger this one was called the box! Cool tut!

@dafreshneen 12 лет назад

This tuto is the bomb ! Thanks Shirley, love from France

@lizlizlive 12 лет назад

ah-mazing !!!! love it girl, you look gorg

@Addiction2Beauty 11 лет назад

its like those lanyards kids made when they were younger... you just loop any piece over the base and loop the one across from it over the base too. then you are doing the same with the other two pieces but sticking it over the first piece they encounter and under the second. it sounds way harder when you read it but doing it is simple and quite fun!

@BabeRuthuk 12 лет назад

Shirley you are a genius! I'm so trying this!

@Stephanie87x 12 лет назад

Just made my own today. And it turned out good. Thanks for the diy. You should continue making them.

@erikawyatt 12 лет назад

I love the necklace! It is so very unique! I hope to try this DIY soon!

@savviestsayo 12 лет назад

love love love it so much!!! Make more DIY Shirley!!!

@lookup2Godlav 12 лет назад

looks cute you know you can use old t-shirts and also its a better hold when you sew that end. It would look cute as a headband too !

@msmaka 12 лет назад

Love, love, love it! I think it's actually better than the original. Please do more DIYs.

@LexiDarcel 12 лет назад

I made a yellow and blue headband using this same technique. Which is common in the usa when using gimp my daughter calls it the box technique .ur necklace turned out beautifully

@elrofo 10 лет назад
