D.I.Y: Chain necklace

D.I.Y: Chain necklace
Over the past two weeks I began purchasing basic things to create my own jewellery. After receiving my eyepins, jumprings, 5 metres of chain and lobster clasps in the mail I decided to begin :)

So this is a tutorial on how to create the necklace I'm wearing in the image above.

You will need the following:
*Pliers (for jumprings, you can also use tweezers to open them)
*Something to cut the chain (I used the scissors that is already attached to my round nose pliers)
*Necklace chain (The length of yours will depend on how long you want your necklace to hang, but it will be folded afterwards mine was 50cm)
*2x Jumprings
*Lobster clasp
*Thick chain of any kind

You don't have to have the exact type of thick chain I have in the image, any will work as long as you're able to thread the necklace chain into the end of the thick chain.

Step 1Step 1: Measuring the length of your necklace

Step 1: Measuring the length of your necklace
1. Measure around your neck and leave out about 1/6th as that length will be where the thick chain will go (This will differ depending on how long your thick chain is and how long you want the necklace to be!).

My measurement was 25cm.
