DIY: Washer & Ribbon Necklace

I've been seeing this necklace on Pinterest a lot lately and it sparked my interest. It only takes two supplies to make; metal washers and grosgrain ribbon, both of which I had already, so I decided to give it a whirl. I wore it yesterday and really loved it! Here's a quick tutorial:

You will need:

20 - 30 1" metal washers (I used 24. Use more or less to make it the length you want.)

5/8" wide grosgrain ribbon, about 1 yard (or more, depending on your desired length of your necklace)

Step 1:

Thread your ribbon up through washer #1, leaving enough ribbon on the end to tie the necklace when it's finished.

Step 2:

Thread the ribbon down through the top of washer #2.

Step 3:

Thread the ribbon back down through washer #1.

Step 4:

Pull the ribbon tight, so washer #2 is laying flat on top of washer #1.

Step 5:

Thread the ribbon back up through washer #2.

Step 6: 

Repeat steps 2 through 5 for each additional washer. Once you've threaded all your washers onto the ribbon, tie the two ends of the ribbon together and trim off the excess. Finished! Easy, right?
