This shoulderpiece is quit easy to do,I saw something similar on etsy and give it a try,it´s wearable with practically everything,you decide the shape and how many chains it will have,the butterfly I use it´s from an old belt,the chains are remainings of necklaces bracelets,e.t.c.,If you want use brooches or something else,have fun!

You Will Need (4 things)

  • Lobster Clasp

Steps (13 steps, 600 minutes)

  1. 1

    First of all,the main piece,I pick this from an old bikini belt,the results are better if the piece is a medium heavy,if you use really heavy piece,it will falls from your shoulder any time.

  2. 2

    Carefully curve your piece for a better adhesion to your shoulder.

  3. 3

    Place your chains by weights.

  4. 4

    Pick the heaviest chain,this will be underarm,better if you use a painted or plastic chain (it helps to avoid irritations),just remember it has to be heavy.

  5. 5

    Take the measure of your shoulder,using pliers cut the remains.

  6. 6

    Add lobster clasp to the other side.

  7. 7

    Take away some extra links,for a perfect fit,try it on again just to make sure.

  8. 8

    Edit your shoulderpiece,make as much changes as you want until you approve the result,this is my first version,I don´t like so much.

  9. 9

    This is my final version.
