DIY Pearl Cluster Necklace

A pearl necklace is an accessory that never goes out of style; it's a classic staple for any jewelry collection! The real deal can be VERY expensive, but the good news is, there are plenty of faux pearls that look just as beautiful.

Check out this tutorial that features various colors and sizes of pearls and Aleene's Jewelry & Metal Glue.

Aleene's Pearl Cluster Necklace DIY - gather supplies

Creating a pearl cluster necklace is easier than you think! No stringing required! Mix up the sizing and colors of your pearls for added interest, and choose any color of ribbon you like for the ties. Prep your work surface by laying a large piece of freezer paper down to help prevent your pearl cluster from sticking to your work surface.

Aleene's Pearl Cluster Necklace DIY - create cluster

Add a dot of Jewelry & Metal Glue to a larger pearl and press another pearl in place onto the dot of glue. Keep adding dots of glue to different sized and color pearls and gluing to the main cluster you are forming. Once your cluster is large enough to your liking, let dry completely.
