I am back today with a DIY Charm Necklace post as I promised HERE in this week's Wear Post.If you're having inclement weatherlike we are here in Southern Californiathis can be a fun weekend project!
This necklace might look involved but once you have the items on handthe assembly couldn't be easier!
You can also add as many or as few charms as your heart desires!
What you will need besides a collection of charmsis a medium to wide link chain or even a pre made necklace.The chain links just have to be wide enoughto get the jump rings through.
You will also need two needle nosed pliers.
If some of your charms don't have a loop for the jump ringsI often just use wire to wrap around the charm to make a loop.
This is really how easy the necklace assembly actually.
Simply open up the jump rings slide on the charmthen slide both onto the chain linkand then simply close the jump ring with both pliers.
If you are using a plain chainthe same technique works for adding a lobster claw and ring to finish off and close your necklace.
If you want to make a necklace with only one charmI always like to add in a couple of jump rings for better charm movementon the necklace chain.
Once you have your charmsall of your needed supplies can be easily found at most any craft store.Many stores also are selling individual charms as wellif you need to finish up your collected pieces.
I also love to add in lobster claws on the larger 'charms'so they can be easily removed or placed differently on my necklaces.
There you have it my friends!Happy Charm Necklace Making!
As always my friends
I wish you love and joyas you style your life
