Cute necklaces! I used to use nail polish to paint all kinds of things, but I never thought about using it to paint washers for necklaces. Great idea!

What kind of cord did you use? Did it have a clip or was it just tied? Thinking of making these for our shoebox gifts for Operation Christmas Child.
Hi Shauna! That’s a GREAT idea. We went and picked up our boxes today for Operation Christmas Child so that we can get started. For the washer necklaces, I just tied a knot. I used colored hemp for the cording. Hope that helps! Here is a link to what I used, but I bought mine at Walmart. They had a variety of colors for about the same price. http://amzn.to/2ej1KFY
My ladies club, average age 70, love to do crafts, but they are not very good at it. I will have them do these and I think they will love them.
I love that idea. These really are easy to make. And if they don’t want to paint a washer, they can do their nails and visit with everyone! 🙂
Great. idea! Thanks!
Do you paint both sides of the necklace or just the front with nail polish?? Thanks in Advance
Just the front, but I guess it’s up to you! If you painted the back you could wear it either way. 🙂
