You Will Need (3 things)

  • 1 Clothespin
  • 1 Bead
  • Cord Or Chain

Steps (4 steps, 1 minutes)

  1. 1

    Twist a clothespin apart to free the hinge.

  2. 2

    Stretch the hinge open a bit, and slip a large-hole bead over the two ends of wire.

  3. 3

    Let the wires snap back together inside the bead.

  4. 4

    String on a cord or chain, and that's a necklace!

    Doncha love how easy that was? It's fun to string several together for a different effect; make a bunch and play around with different combinations!
