Rockin' Retro Necklace Trio 
This is a fun necklace, which will put you back into the 70's with bright colors and a funky design.  These directions are for a three-strand necklace.  If you prefer you can make three separate necklaces (you'll have enough supplies) and then wear them all at once or one at a time.
