This DIY was so fun and simple! It took less than an hour to make and I am obsessed with the results. I purchased everything from Michael's and I can make so many more with the amount of supplies I have leftover!!

How to make:

1. Start with your Keyring Lobster Clip

2. Take your Braiding Cord, cut it as long as you want your lanyard (plus a few extra inches to work with), and secure the cord onto the lobster clip. The lobster clip should be in the center of the cord.

3. Attach your Macrame Feather Pendant to the top of your lobster clip using a Jewelry Jump Ring and Jewelry Pliers

4. String your 8mm Wood Craft Beads on one cord

5. Tie a knot to secure the beads once you have reached the desired length

6. Secure an End Cap onto the knot using jewelry pliers; trim off any extra cord

7. Secure the Magnetic Clasp onto the end cap with a jewelry jump chain and jewelry pliers

8. Repeat on the other cord

9. Voila!! Lanyard complete!

I absolutely LOVE my teacher tote! This bag was a graduation gift and it has held up incredibly well for the past 2.5 years. It still looks brand new!! It fits so much stuff and the leather is extremely durable. I ruin just about every bag and this one has withstood the test of Marissa Miller ;)

The best invention I have come across as of recent is this organizational tote insert. It sits at the bottom of your bag and has so many pockets. It even comes with an additional insert (not pictured) so you can configure your bag however you prefer!

Some other items in my bag:

Laptop Case & Bag

Kate Spade Wallet

Native Deodorant

Hand Sanitizer

Planner

Bic Gelosity Pens

Some of my favorite claw clips that I have found! They aren't too big and are still strong enough to hold all your hair. They come in an 8 pack, so I keep half at home and half at school! I love the variety and cute color combinations!!
