Mixing Metals

Last Thursday I had a crafty date with some of my girlfriends, we spent all day together going past the bead stores in Amsterdam and finally going to my house to craft together the jewels we got. After that I  I was on a roll with making jewels. I made a variation of fine necklaces to be worn together or alone. Also some skinny rings and bracelets with pearls, coral and turquoise stone. 

If you never made any jewelry, it can be really easy and really fun, pass by a craft store and make yourself something fun this week!

DIY; Chunky Pearl Necklace

 I got Inspired while "window shopping" on forever21.com so many different ones! (check below). Then I though; I can make that! so I gathered all sorts of old necklaced that have been put in my necklace coffin for now. It's really fun to reinvent your jewelry and actually wear it again.

Find the "how to" steps below...

Happy Crafting

1. Gather old jewelry, like; strands of pearls, chain and lace (get different sizes and shapes for extra dimension)

2. Hook the all together in one loop/eyelet (since it becomes a bulky collection, I used one link of a big chain)

3. Pull them straight and even out the length
4. Gather the strands into 3 groups and braid.

5. Loop them all together with another eyelet or link

Et Voila! your own DIY Chunky necklace
