Pretty... Simple.

This necklace is close to my heart. Everyone knows I have a strange love affair with dollies. I made a necklace similar to this one a year ago for my art opening when I showed my mixed media paintings for the the first time. It is so simple I don't even need to make a full tutorial to share it with you. My necklace is inspired by this Anthropologie necklace which was on sale last time I checked. Although the sale price was still $30.00 and mine was made for about $3.00.  I would save my money, make one using my tips and get a cute top instead!

All you need is some chain, a clasp for the back, a 99 cent doily from Jo Anne's (they are in the crafting section by the felt and pom poms) and a glue gun.

 Glue the back of doily to the chain.

 You can stop there, just fold the top edge down to really mimic the anthro version. I (of course) had to bling mine out a bit more.

Pretty... Simple.
