Just DIY it!

I saw this necklace in Teen Vogue a while back and i was hooked, i loved it. Then I saw this Proenza Schouler rope necklace, and knew i wanted to make something similar, so i did!

Now i'm gonna show you how...

You'll need to use about 15 ft of Poly rope for a necklace. It seems like a lot but, we'll be doing Macrame, so when you knot, the rope gets shorter and shorter. You can do a half knot, this one is swirly, or you can do a whole knot, it's more boxy. They both start the same way.                    
Following the instructions below, start knotting your rope.

Half-Knot- continue knotting on the left side if you start on the left side or vice versa.

Whole-Knot- continue knotting, only you will switch from one side to the other.ropetutorial
Remember.... 
Half-Knot- continue knotting on the left side if you start on the left side or vice versa. 

Whole-Knot- continue knotting, only you will switch from one side to the other.

When you cut the rope to the length you want your gonna need to burn the ends so the rope doesn't fray. Just take a lighter and light the end of the rope, it'll burn out pretty quick, just make sure the ends are sealed.
 After you knot your rope, you'll need to glue the ends together. Glue all 3 ends together with the hot glue, then you'll wanna make a loop out of the glued ends. Glue the loop shut. This will be for the chain to hold the necklace together. Do this to both sides.
Now just take your chain and attach it to the two loops you made on your rope.

And your done! 

I made 2, a long one and a short one, i love them so much, i think they came out great! They are definitely great for summer!
If you try this....Good Luck!
