Hi ! I saw a skull necklace in Vivienne Westwood's online shop so I decided to do my own version. It's "getting pricey" because I used Citadel modeling clay and paint and in my town is very expensive to buy laces and clasps, but I'm sure you'll find nice and cheaper materials^^

Hope you like it !

You Will Need (9 things)

  • Acrylic Varnish
  • 1 Silver Clasp which fit on the thick lace
  • 2 Silver Square Bead(s) which fit on the thick lace
  • Silver Paint acrilic
  • 20 cm Thick Black Fake Leather Lace
  • 10 cm Medium Black Fake Leather Lace
  • Modeling Clay any colour
  • Citadel Green Stuff (warharmer's modeling clay)
  • Super Glue

Steps (7 steps, 4320 minutes)

  1. 1

    First of all, you'll have to model a simple bead. Make sure that the hole is big enough so the medium lace fit in it.

  2. 2

    Then you'll have to model the skull with the green stuff around the simple bead.

    I use this clay because when it dries it looks like plastic and it's quite resistant.

  3. 3

    Make as many skulls as you want :)Let the dry for 12 hours.

  4. 4

    Paint them ! for make it easier I used thin wood sticks. Like this

  5. 5

    Paint the beads as well. The paint I use dries quite fast, so I varnished them and let them dry for one day.

  6. 6

    Now you have to do the necklace. I don't have photos of this (soooooorry x3).

    Glue the ends of the medium and the thick laces.

    Take one of the beads and glue it on the edge of the thick lace, so it covers the joint we made beafore.

    Then pass the skulls through the medium lace (you can glue them so they don't move when you're wearing the necklace) and cut it. Glue this new end to the other end of the thick lace and repeat the step with the bead.

    Cut the thick lace by the middle and glue the clasp to it.

    TADAAH ! It's done!

    I hope you liked it and I'd love to see your versions^^
