  Step 1

  Measure 3" across the length of your popsicle stick. Mark with lines as shown. Mark the center of that 3" as well.

• 

  Step 2

  Now, measure a 1 cm drop on a common side and mark them like in the photo.

• 

  Step 3

  Draw a line from the 1 cm point to the middle point. Connect the other point to the middle as well, forming a triangle with a 'drop'.

• 

  Step 4

  Before cutting out our shapes, mark and drill two holes on each end of the triangle. I suggest you work with the smallest bit (1/16") before moving up to the 3/32" bit - makes it less likely to crack and will save you a ton of frustration. Sand each side of the popsicle stick prior to cutting. Concentrate on sanding the holes but don't put too much pressure.

• 

  Step 5

  Now, cut your shapes up with an x-acto knife. Be careful and patient, it cracks easily near the drilled holes. I ended up making 6 more triangles just cause I can't get the other one right, lol!

  Step 6

  Now, paint with nail polish. I love using the Insta-Dri line from Sally Hansen, it dries really fast and it's very opaque. You can also use spray paint, but that takes a bit longer to dry. Paint the edges first before filling the front space. Wait for that to dry, then fill in the back space.

  Step 7

  Cut up 4 pieces of the same length of chain. Assemble it as shown in the photo. With a 3/32" hole, you can add two jump rings without it being too tight.

• 

  Step 8

  Attach your main chain and you are done! You can wear it short like so or lengthen the chain more for a longer drop then layer it with other necklaces. :) Enjoy your new necklace!
