Ropes Course

The Marc By Marc Jacobs Line always seems to spark a DIY to me. The Fall 08 line had little replicable mirror brooches and his SS08 line had the LEGOS! For this years Spring 09 line, I spied ROPE jewelry.


I purchased some multicolored rope in Italy last summer because I was set on making lanyard knot necklaces. I did nothing with the rope until I saw this collection...

Instead of making those confusing lanyard knots, I basically just tied up all the ropes together to make a necklace in knots of my own.


I like how he took bright colored ropes and accessorized the muted colored outfits with it.

It's completely personal and there is no wrong way to do it - just buy some ropes and make some big knots!
