In the previous post about the coat for Kindi Kids dolls, the doll had a pearl necklace with a star pendant. That was my first experiment with new material, a strand of plastic pearls. There's 2 meters of it in the roll, so that's enough for quite a few necklaces.
The star is one from this package. These decorations are just the right size for larger dolls.
I used metal wire to make a ring for attaching the star to the string of pearls (sewing thread would work just as well).
The closing mechanism gave me some trouble. I thought of all sorts of elaborate alternatives, but ended up gluing a loop of thin rubber band to the other end of the strand with hot glue. This loop goes around the first pearl in the other end to keep the necklace closed.
Here is the doll again, wearing the necklace. The pearls would be too big for most dolls of this size, but the proportions of this doll are so strange that the pearls look just fine.
