Wear the sun with tangerine colored jewelry! Braided cords in two sizes colored with warm, sunny colors creates a thicker marine-like rope. The silver round charm, hanging on the braided ropes, has a bright center matching the thick cord. This project is easy, but some jewelry making tools and knowledge is required. If you have never made your own jewelry then accept this fun challenge and add it to your bucket list of craft projects!
