Your first purchase for spring should be a pair of wear-with-everything sandals.

With its lightweight wood beads and color-blocked accents, Kate Spade’s Rosewood Dot Necklace is a fun piece for spring – and an even better DIY project.

You will need:

13 wood beads (I opted for smaller beads than the original version.)
14 gold beads
flexible beading wire
length of chain
clasp
nail polish to lacquer half of 6 beads
2 crimping beads
crimp tool
pliers

Choose your lacquer color to paint the beads. I used Revlon’s “Minted” polish.

Wrap tape around the beads so you get a clean line. I taped each one to a toothpick, then poked the painted beads into a cardboard box to let them dry undisturbed.

If all went well, you should be able to peel off the tape gently to reveal a straight line. Use a little bit of nail polish remover to get rid of any smudges.
