cut shapes out of the strip of deck, be creative (I have found that triangles are the easiest)

Sanding

next you will need to sand the shape down to whatever size/shape you would like

Drilling

now is the hardest part, to drill the hole you need to go slowly so the shape does not break or split

Staining and Finishing (optional)

you can stain the wood to make the grains really pop out,trust me it looks much better. You can also spray clear gloss over the stain for a shiny look. then just put a string through it and wear your necklace!
