Bread Roll and Olive Snack Necklace DIY

I love exploring the amazing shops and boutiques in my home of Portland, Oregon. And when I do, I want to take the extra time to look my best for an afternoon of antiquing, shopping and discovery. 

When I do hit the shops and stores, I don’t want to be delayed with finding a place to eat. That got me thinking: I love wearing jewelry and like anyone, I get hungry. Why not mix the two?

Today I’d like to introduce you to the Bread Roll and Olive Snack Necklace. It’s a stylish accessory and lunch all in one. Headed out for a picnic? You won’t even need a picnic basket with this piece of jewelry. Just put on the necklace and go!

Best of all, this exquisite mix of haute couture and haute cuisine is so easy! It’s the perfect Do-It-Yourself way to dress up and chow down!

Here’s how to do it:

Supplies:

• 10 small bread rolls (if you are gluten intolerant, feel free to use a gluten free alternative)
• 10 green olives
• toothpicks
• colorful ribbon
• 1 large needle
• an appetite

Directions:

1. Gather your beads, aka bread rolls, and plan out the necklace pattern. Thread the ribbon onto your needle.

2. Push the needle through the side of each roll.

3. Repeat this process until you achieve the desired length for your personal style and/or appetite.

4. Add some green olive polka dots.

5. Take a random photo with a baby chick.

6. Now you’re ready for a fashionable and fun afternoon!
