Make Your Own Necklaces

 I wanted to make necklaces for myself that had an edge and beauty to them. Anything I ever found in a magazine or online was far too expensive. I was in a local bead store in a town close to my home in Vermont and happened upon some pendulums as well as other pretty charms/crystals. I knew right then that I could make some really beautiful necklaces for cheap. You can find pendulums here on ebay or try a local bead shop because mine were by far the least expensive. I just snip off the pendulums single chain and attach my own chain. I like them long and to vary in lengths in case I want to layer a few.

I love all of them with their varying swirls and colors! So pretty! I will definitely be wearing one today!
These necklaces are definitely a key element in my daily fashion. What is a key element in your day to day looks?
Thanks for stopping in!

  2. Lovely idea! I'm going to have to make one of those and maybe add a little bead on top.

  3. So pretty! I love the clear quartz one. You can also get things from jewellery/craft supply stores that you can glue on the top of gemstones to make an attachment for a chain. I used to make some necklaces that way when I was a teenager :)
