DIY Anthropologie Inspired Necklace

Anthropologie's Akela Necklace, $38



my knock-off version

This is my first sewing project! It was pretty simple (and fun) to make. I made mine a lot shorter and less ruffly than the anthro version... a toned-down version for the office (ok, so i wear some bright colors in the office, haha)...though I'm debating on adding some more ruffle to it...hmm...

With all my upcoming sewing projects, I'm wondering if maybe I should start an etsy or something, where people can custom order things like this...choose their own color and rufflieness, I suppose. But, I'm not sure if anyone would buy anything like this...or how much I should even charge. Maybe I should just subject my family and friends to more homemade birthday / christmas presents? I'm going to do some more research and think it over!
