Easy DIY Necklace for Beginners

Look at that, I made a necklace! It has seriously been FOREVER since I made a necklace. My thing has always been jewelry, but lately I have been busy doing projects around my house and have kind of put my jewelry making to the side.  It makes me look good, but not my house, and we all know I am in house mode!

When you see this necklace, you probably think, “Wow, it must have been super hard to make!”.  Truth be told, this necklace took less than two minutes to make and it was so simple, even a child could do it!  I love the look the of J.Crew necklaces. They are always so pretty and make such a statement.  I am usually on some sort of clothing/accessory budget and don’t usually spend a ton on clothing (which is why I usually try to make everything I see at J.Crew!).  When I saw these jewelry components from Darice that looked like something I would buy from J.Crew, I nearly squealed!

The Darice Statement Looks allow you to mix and match your components to create jewelry in a snap, and not just any old jewelry, jewelry that rivals anything you would buy from J.Crew! Did I mention, this jewelry is WAAAY cheaper than any piece you would buy from J.Crew? You could make a few of these and the price would still come in under one necklace from J.Crew, just sayin’.

Here’s what you’ll need:

– Darice Statement Looks Chain

– Darice Statement Looks Statement Piece

– Jewelry Pliers



Step 1: Open one jump ring of the end of your chain.



Step 2: Slide the jump ring from your statement piece on and close.



Step 3: Repeat Steps 1 and 2 on the other side of your chain.



That’s all folks!  See, I told you it was the easiest piece of jewelry to make EVER!
