  Step 1

  Gather materials and plug in your glue gun.

• 

  Step 2

  With your jewelry plyer (or your fingers, these chains are pretty easy to twist off), cut one 20" piece of biker chain, and one 20" piece of mini black chain.

• 

  Step 3

  With the plyer, carefully open the end links of both chains. Leave only enough space to slip the hair elastic through.

• 

  Step 4

  Attach the chain link to the hair elastic.

• 

  Step 5

  Close the link with the plyer.

• 

  Step 6

  Repeat with the other chain.

• 

  Step 7

  You are going to repeat the last two steps with the other ends of the 20" chains.

• 

  Step 8

  Here is the chain necklace.

• 

  Step 9

  Bring out your first butterfly applique.

• 

  Step 10

  Flip the applique so it is upside down.

• 

  Step 11

  Place a line of hot glue along the back of the applique. See the next step photo for a better idea of where the line should go.

• 

  Step 12

  Secure the chain on the applique with the hot glue. Be careful not to burn your fingers! We pushed down the chain with a pen cap.

• 

  Step 13

  Bring out the second butterfly applique.

• 

  Step 14

  Cover the first butterfly/chain applique with a generous amount of hot glue.

• 

  Step 15

  Now place the second butterfly on top of the glue. This is going to make the necklace reversible! You can always use a different color butterfly so that the necklace has two wearable options!

• 

  Step 16

  Press down firmly. You want to make sure that it is secure.

• 

  Step 17

  And now you have it! Let the glue dry (only takes a few minutes) and put on your necklace! The hair elastic makes the necklace stretchy so you can just pull it over your head :)
