Rope necklaces out of old head band and polymer clay gemstone

It's been a very long time...again! Since I managed to find some free time over the past couple of weeks I decided to spend it on crafting of course :-)

This head band has seen more than a few summers and I don't really wear it anymore:

So I decided to make a rope necklace out of it and finally I ended up making two of them:

All I used was rope, needle and thread, reused clasps and chain and polymer clay for the gemstone.

I think I am ready now for my summer/autumn holidays!
