If DIY friendship bracelet-style necklaces are a piece of cake for you now, graduate to the newest offerings from the handy ladies over at Honestly WTF. In their latest post, they showed us how to braid and glue your own Proenza Schouler rope necklace. With a few materials from outdoor outfitters shops, you'll be able to craft your own multi-colored statement necklace that's already on your wishlist.
Step # 1: Gather all your elements. In this case, a choker strand of fake pearls, four different color chains, and three jewel strands. You will need pliers, 12 jump rings, and a clasp.
Step # 2: Create two different pieces with the strands. Here the first piece consists of the pearls, one of the jewel strands, and two chains. The other piece consists of two jewel strands and two chains. Using pliers, open a jump ring and attach all four strands to it for the first piece. Then place the clasp on the jump ring, and close the jump ring. For the second piece do the same, but a clasp is not needed.
Step # 3: Clasp the two pieces together and hang on neck. Take the pearl strand, wrap around the neck, and attach an open jump ring. Hook the pearl strand's open jump ring to the other piece's closed jump ring using pliers.
Step # 4: Begin winding individual strands around the pearl strand. Attach a jump ring to each individual strand, and attach that to the pearl strand's jump ring. Do this until every strand is wrapped around and attached to the pearl strand's jump rings.
