DIY the Most Versatile Necklace Ever – Wear It 3 Ways!

0 · Nov 14, 2013 · Stephanie Gerber · 7 Comments

DIY The Most Versatile Necklace EverAs a busy mom, I’m all about multitasking. So if I can find (or DIY) an accessory that can be worn several different ways, then I’m all over it. Which is why I’m calling this necklace the bold title of ‘most versatile necklace ever!’ I love that it can be worn as a short necklace or as a pendant. Or even wrapped on your arm as a bracelet. Plus, you can make it in colors that complement your wardrobe – green and blue were my choices, since they’re my favorites.

DIY the Most Versatile Necklace Supplies needed –

  • 15 green stones or beads
  • 26 gauge gold wire
  • 2 gold beads
  • T-shirt you don’t mind recycling
  • Jewelry pliers with wire clippers

1. String the green beads onto the wire. Finish with a gold bead and bend the end of the wire into a small loop with the pliers. But don’t close the loop all the way! Just close it enough so that the beads don’t fall off.

2. Clip the other end of the wire, leaving a bit of excess length. Add the other gold bead to that end and curl the wire into a loop.

    I love this and the idea of it being multi-use. There are so many possibilities for color and style.
    But I am a little confused as to how to adjust it to the longer length?

    what if you used paper beads insted of glass beads? I think that would look awesome.
    Great tutorial!

    I think this looks very cute and I love making jewelry of any kind. Its my one and only hobby, and I can’t wait to try this. I think I will just use ribbon instead of a t-shirt though.
