Hi lovelies! Today's DIY is a super fun one, possibly my favorite yet! There are so many possibilities with this one, you can deconstruct a few necklaces/bracelets for the chain, the pendant - you'll never believe what it was! - could come from anything, and you can further jazz it up by adding more to it! I opted to keep mine simple, I love the mixed metals and textures as is. {Click for the how-to!}
You'll need:
- A ring (I think we all have these fun ones with the stretchy band that fits all sizes. If not, a regular one will do too! You could also use an existing pendant, an old brooch, an earring, etc. Get creative!)
- Chain (I raided my stash, but use whatever you can get your hands on!)
- Medium jump rings
- Closure
- Jewelry pliers
How-to:
- Cut the elastic to remove the ring from the attachment. If you're using something attached, use some wire cutters to remove it from it's backing.
- Plan & lay out your design.
- Use jump rings to attach your piece to the chain. There were some open spaces in mine, I attached from there. You could use a small drill to drill holes into your piece if need be (easier than it sounds, I promise!)
- Attach the chains together.
- Add a clasp.
So easy, right? I think that from start to finish, this took me about 5 minutes to make and it's now a one of a kind statement piece that I don't want to take off! Use your imagination with this one, you could easily make a fun bracelet instead, and there are infinite options depending on what you have that you aren't wearing!
