DIY: How to make Ankara beaded necklace

Hello fashionistas,
I hope you spent a fabulous weekend. I am back again with another tutorial on how to make an Ituan Basi inspired beaded fabric necklace. If you love fashion then you have to learn to make some things on your own because you can't buy everything plus its fun to try . I took a bunch of pictures to show you how to do it but realized that I learned this from another blog so to give them credits I am going to link their tutorial Here.
