Description

Not only is this necklace significantly cheaper than the Anthropologie inspiration, but it is also incredibly easy to make. Perfect for layering and is fun to customize.

Instructions

1. Start by measuring how long you want your necklace to be. To figure out the length of your chain you need to take your measuring tape and hold one end where you want the circle of the necklace to sit), then wrap the measuring tape around your neck and extend it to where you want the pendant to sit. Take this measurement and cut a length of chain using your cutting pliers. My chain ended up being about 55 cm long.

2. 

   Grab your small jump ring and open it up (be sure to twist it open and not pull it open).

3. 

   Hook on your accent bead/pendant...

4. 

   …And one end of your chain.

5. 

   Once both are on, twist the jump ring close. You’re halfway done!

6. 

   Now grab your large jump ring (or a circle pendant) and twist it open.

7. 

   Hook on the opposite end of the chain...

8. 

   …And twist the large jump ring closed.

9. 

   The last step is threading the pendant/bead through the large jump ring. If the pendant/bead does not fit through the ring, don’t panic. All you have to do is thread the chain through the loop before you attach the pendant/bead.
