DIY: Straight Knot Necklace.

[@FonziieOnDeck]

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]

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!

[@mstamalaj]

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!

[@0blahblahbullshit0]

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

[@silentbahamabeauty]

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

[@StudioAnnLe]

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

[@45suad]

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!!

[@kshel104]

Your necklace turned out beautiful! Very creative!

[@eightyninetreasure]

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 :)

[@mzzgoodie]

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

[@angiedj62]

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.

[@_SkyeLer]

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

[@MsO-16]

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!!

[@acrystalbyrd]

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 :)

[@remixedv]

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

[@cherryfolk]

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

[@SunnyDelight0188]

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!!!!

[@Slyckchica2]

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.

[@mamalisa5178]

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.

[@RoCoLaNe]

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

[@LTTPUK]

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!!

[@ShirleyBEniangxo]

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

[@rerecmbraggs]

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

[@Jamafrikan876]

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:)

[@JessA2712]

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

[@lilaalabed2527]

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

[@byakulover]

you are very talented. The necklace looks really stunning. Love how your videos are very clear and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing with other people. xo

[@MzSandraAmika]

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

[@AFRICANEXPORT]

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

[@soblsd224]

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

[@zheahra]

This has got to be the best DIY vid I've seen thus far. I'm def going to do this one. Thanks. Excellent vid. Well done.

[@healthy1bobogh]

The best DIY i've seen so far....on KZbin.

[@MissDottyPerkins]

I don't usually do D.I.Ys but I'm going to try it myself but with cream fabric and a silver smaller chain! Thanks so much for this video Shirley! Xx

[@aliaalmarri1554]

i did this , it was amazing! thank you so much , your so creative . my mom is now obsessed with this and making me make her more of these!! thank you

[@Martina_E]

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 :-)

[@sleepyblubo]

just fantastic! seriously one of my favorite jewelery diy yet! awesome job!

[@bisiesweets]

thats the "box" ...learned how to do that using landyard back in the days during summer camp!..great job shirley!

[@MyCanne]

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.

[@Addiction2Beauty]

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!

[@gypsygypsygypsyism]

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 !!!

[@eminitemi]

So smart of u! I tried it with the ribbons I've got at home just to get the flow. Getting jersey fabric tmrw right away! Thank you :) I like making jewelry.

[@Portabamini]

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.

[@lookup2Godlav]

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 !

[@thatfashiongeek87]

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)!

[@gabho232]

I just made it and looks fantastic I can't wait to make more for Christmas and for my daily outfits!!! Love it

[@MYMusicMYLove]

Oh wow this is what I used to do with my lanyard . Never thought of doing this with fabric =) Thanks Shirley. Great video =)

[@mazy2010]

I made a blue one and used a silver chain instead, it turned out really pretty! Awesome tutorial! Thank youuu

[@sauc]

This is really amazing. I love DIY but have never tried doing anything too tedious on my own. I will definitely be trying this soon. Thank you!!

[@thekelleebag]

Great video with easy to follow instructions. I was going to buy a similar necklace last week so great timing with a DIY version. I hope mine looks half as good as yours when finished!!

[@Rhoda20001]

Wow I really love this DIY project. I am def gonna make a few of these necklaces. Perfect for summer when it is hot but you want to wear a necklace.

[@ItsNadNad]

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

[@Stephanie87x]

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

[@msmaka]

[@BlissfulBeautyRush]

We actually do this in the USA! We call it 'Gimp'!. I never thought of trying it with fabric! Great Job!

[@devondevan]

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

[@ShirleyBEniangxo]

[@0brigite0]

[@LookyMaAccessories]

[@90sGloss]
