Interchangeable Lego Necklace

So I was perusing through lego instructables on this here fine site, and I noticed a few pertaining to the creation of lego necklaces. I thought this a brilliant idea but upon further investigation, I noticed that they involved drilling through the lego people/pieces. This gave me the idea of creating a necklace that avoided the modification of precious legos, as well as allowed the builder to change out the main necklace piece. This instructable will show you how to make a lego necklace that can be modified to hold lego people as well as plain bricks (if you're feeling classic lego :]). It is quite simple to make and requires no hard to get pieces. It is a combination of lego and technic (which, for those of you who don't know, is a product of the Lego Corporation) I hope you enjoy this instructable as much as I did, because I am biased in that regard, seeing as I created it. Thank you.

Step 1: Parts

These are the parts you need to make this necklace:

-String, cut to desired length. I used a chain I already had.
-Two 5 hole connector pieces. Make sure they're roughly the same thickness as a 1x4. Don't use the skinny ones. Sorry I don't have a better name for them.
-1x2 Brick with a hole for a plus shaped connector post.
-2 2-hole connector pieces with a hole for a plus shaped connector post
-1 plus shaped connector post; shortest kind. See picture.
-2 connectors that are half plus shaped and half circular connector.

Depending on what you want to make, these are optional:
-1 2x4 brick
-A lego man. As you can see I have Darth Maul, a Battle Droid, a pirate, a stormtrooper, a british officer, and a classic lego guy with a ball cap. For the purposes of this 'ible, I will be using the stormtrooper.
