Bright scarlet red sparkles combine with deep gunmetal glam and vintage-style filigree frills for this hauntingly-chic Dracula necklace….. It’s OCTOBER which means <FINALLY> time for the Halloween countdown.
My first installment in 2017’s Halloween tutorial lineup is this detailed statement piece, which only looks difficult to make - trust me, you can whip this up in an afternoon. The technique is super-simple too, consisting of a bunch of bead drops grouped together in filigree cones.
I decided to make a YT vid for you crafty witches - check it out on my page here, or follow the embedded window below.
For the most part, you can find the materials for this necklace at your local craft store. I’ve also got the links for a few of the items below if you want to make it easy and shop online 🙂 —

To match the mood, I brewed some tea and did a mini-shoot. That black teacup below was a quick DIY - simply glue acrylic spike beads on the outside of a black teacup or mug. Black mug + black spikes = perfect cup of tea.
Stay tuned for more tutorials, spooky vibes and autumn outfit inspo throughout this month!
