JCREW inspired Necklace {{TUTORIAL}}

Just in case you missed when I posted this over at 

TATER TOTS AND JELLO on Friday

Here it is for all of YOU :) 

------------------------------------

Ok lets get started.... 

Here is the $70 (ouch) original necklace

Now here is how to make one for only $10

SUPPLIES:

Chains (I chose gold because I wear it a lot but silver would look awesome too)

*please note all the chain was originally purchased at JOANNS on a 40% jewelery clearance - there will be left over chain from this project*

Ribbon (i used 24 inches total)

2 metal  hooks

One clasp

metal pliers (for opening the links)

THE HOW TO:

Start cutting all your chain to desired length...make each on a bit longer than the next so they layered.

Then using one of your metal "hooks / connectors" loop each chain onto it.

Pinch it shut and repeat on the other side of the chain

I cut my 24 inch ribbon in half...

tie each 12 inch piece onto your metal loops

*a bow would be really cute too - or you could sew your ends shut*

 Make sure you burn the ends of the ribbon so they don't fray

add your final clasp to make taking it on and off easy

*please note if you are making it long enough to go over your head you can skip the part about cutting your ribbon and just tie it in one piece with NO clasp or connector*

Pretty easy huh?

if you wanted to add some **BLING** to it you could add a cute button or pin on the top side of one of the chains

These necklaces would make great gifts for Christmas or make them in all different kinds of metal for you!

HAPPY CRAFTING!!!

if you make one...let me know.I love to see your creations using my tutorials!
