I love the tribal trend in fashion and accessories- it is colorful, interesting, whimsical and bohemian. In my daily work I have pulled lots of tribal inspiration into my fabric and surface design and today when I made my "weekly dig" through our recycling bin, I all of a sudden thought of yet one more way to use recycled cardboard rolls- to create a chunky tribal necklace!

Start by painting a cardboard roll with bright colorful paint- experiment with different sizes of cardboard rolls.

Once it is dry, cut into sections.

Paint each section with colorful, tribal inspired designs.
