Bread Roll and Olive Snack Necklace DIY

I love exploring the amazing shops and boutiques in my home of Portland, Oregon. And when I do, I want to take the extra time to look my best for an afternoon of antiquing, shopping and discovery. 

When I do hit the shops and stores, I don’t want to be delayed with finding a place to eat. That got me thinking: I love wearing jewelry and like anyone, I get hungry. Why not mix the two?

Today I’d like to introduce you to the Bread Roll and Olive Snack Necklace. It’s a stylish accessory and lunch all in one. Headed out for a picnic? You won’t even need a picnic basket with this piece of jewelry. Just put on the necklace and go!
