Pearl Necklace with Button

I found this beautiful button at Hobby Lobby. I always wait for the their sale.
This was 50% off, so I paid $1.99.
I strung Freshwater Pearls that I bought at the last GemFaire in Costa Mesa for $2.00.
The clasp I also bought at the last GemFaire and It was 10 Clasp for $1.
So overall this was a very cheap necklace.
I cut the shank from the button and I filled it until it was smooth so it won't scratch the skin or snag on my clothes.
I took less than an hour to do the stringing part, the shank cutting and filling took about 45 min.

This a double sided starfish, you make two and sew them together.
It was very easy to make and you only need size 8 and size 11 seed beads.
Give it a try, I am making another one in lavender and silver beads.
The bail is square stitch, Kelly also shows us on how to make it.
