If you can't get enough of carnival foods, then you should check out the super-cute Hot Dog Necklace. This adorable food-inspired jewelry item looks good enough to eat. This great piece comes from Etsy seller Lauren and is available on her JeliPhish page.
The Hot Dog Necklace looks just like it sounds: it has a mini replica hot dog, bun and ketchup smear as the main pendant, which hangs on a delicate silver chain. Lauren handcrafts each piece using polymer clay and ensures that they're water-resistant. This would be a great gift for any carnival -- or just plain old hot dog -- lover. They're so cute that you might want to grab one for you and your best friend.
