Bell & Star Necklaces

Bell & Star Necklaces, originally uploaded by MAUstudio.

I made a lot of samples to send to the sampler for the MTV award gift lounge. Among the variety of goodies, are these cute bell and star necklaces. I love them. They are colorful and fun!

It took me awhile to think of packaging for them. I want them to be cool looking and not in the traditional cotton-filled jewelry box. I had these acrylic boxes for my beads and magnets packaging, so I decided to design a card backing to go with the necklace. I think they turned out pretty well, what do you think?
