How To Make A Vegetable Necklace

Creating a vegetable necklace can be a fun and easy craft project for all ages. With a few easy steps you can make a beautiful and unique piece of jewelry with your favorite vegetables.

Things You’ll Need

10-15 Fresh Vegetables

String

Cutting Board

Sharp Knife

Drill

Jump Rings

Scissors

Tape Measure

Step 1: Choose Your Vegetables

Choose the vegetables you’ll be using for your necklace. Popular choices include bell peppers, zucchini, squash, jicama, and carrot. You can also try other vegetables such as radishes, beets, and parsnips. Try to pick vegetables in varying shapes and sizes to make your necklace more interesting.

Step 2: Cut The Vegetables

Cut the vegetables into slices of about 1/4 inch thick. Use a sharp knife and a cutting board to ensure that your slices are even and thin.

Step 3: Drill The Holes

Using your drill, make a small hole in each of the vegetable slices. Make sure that the hole is the same size for all vegetables.

Step 4: Measure The String

Measure out a length of string that is long enough to go around your neck. Cut the string with scissors and tie a knot at one end.

Step 5: Assemble The Necklace

String the vegetable slices onto the string. Start by threading the knotted end of the string through the holes of the vegetables. Slide the vegetables onto the string, alternately putting two slices of each vegetable onto the string. When you have reached the desired length, tie a knot in the other end of the string to keep the vegetables in place.

Step 6: Add Jump Rings

To close the necklace, use jump rings to attach the ends of the string together. To do this, first slide a jump ring through the hole of the last vegetable. Then, thread the two ends of the string through the jump ring and close the ring.
