Shimmering Necklace

Instructions

take something old and create something new!

Difficulty:

Category: Jewelry

Type of item: Accessory

For: Women

Style: Hipster, Funky, Whimsical, Casual


Materials

silvery facted drops, rhinestone chain, grey glass pearls

What was your inspiration?

I bought a three strand necklace at the outlet store and cut it apart! Used the grey pearl strand and added the rhinestone chain and drops. Made a bracelet out of the leftover rhinestone chain and used two stones for earrings. AND, still had a pewter chain leftover for another project!

What are you most proud of?

New design that does not resemble the original at all

What advice would you give someone starting this project?

shop unusual places for beads and inspiration - besides the usual craft stores - try consignment shops, thrift stores, flea markets etc.

Thanks, Sequita. I found a gorgeous purple pendant at Good Will last week for $.50!
