Goddess Girls Aphrodite the Diva necklace

Here are the 3 things we used to make our Goddess Girls: Aphrodite the Diva necklaces. Crafting letter beads and stretchy cord are both by "Jewelry Essentials" from Michaels craft store. We used one earring to make the necklace charm, but you can leave this off or maybe add your own charm. (Earrings are from earringstop.com) Voila!
