DIY hardware jewelry

With a little creativity and a few dollars expended at home depot and michael's, voile, beautiful new jewelry.



I tied a knot of ribbon into the end of the chain


Then wove the ribbon through every other chain link.


I then tied the ribbon in a knot at the other end.


I then attached a clasp to each end.


and there you go, a great necklace/bracelet you can wear in about 5 different ways


Did I mention its  a birthday present!  Happy belated birthday Becky.


Another DIY idea...

Other ideas...
make a t-shirt into something special by sewing a pretty gold chain around the neckline
Embellish a plain pair of pumps by glueing chain up the back seam or around the opening
So much fun to be had!
