At my new job I have to have an ID badge on me at all times and so they give everyone a lanyard to keep it on. The only problem was that my lanyard kept coming open and falling off. Plus it was a really bright blue that didn’t go with everything. So I decided to make my own. Here it is.
It’s nothing fancy and it was super quick and easy. Juast a simple chain stitch for the entire lenth with a bobble thingy on one end for the clasp. Then I looped the chain stitch from the non-bobble end into a circle that was big enough to fit over the bobble and attached it using a yarn needle. I then wrapped the excess yarn around that stitch to make it look more finished (I don’t know if there is a name fore doing this or not). After I had made the big, huge circle necklace shape, I put the bobble through the hole and drew it taut so that I could find the bottom center point. Using the same yarn needle and yarn, I attached the two sides together using the same method as with the hole to create the little loop that my badge holder could go through.
I used Lily’s Sugar’n Cream cotton yarn for this, a D hook and a yarn needle. (plus my imagination!)
I know I suck at explaining what I did. Sorry. Comment if you need help.
