Collar Necklace

Hey everyone!

The weather isn't the best, school is going to end, my trip to London is so close and I can't wait for it! :)
But I'm not there yet, so I still can post on my blog :)

What do you think about this necklace above?

I up cycle it from an old necklace and I think it looks quite interesting :)

There are 3 different chains, the biggest is on the outside so it forms a collar, then inside there are 2 pieces of a bit bigger chain and 3 pieces of a smaller one.

You will need:
- chains (every other must be a bit shorter)
- pliers
- wire

All you have to do:
- join the chains in a desired order on a wire
- join the ends of the wire together to form a circle
- do this three times, one for the left side, one for the right side and one for the middle circle
- but be careful with the middle one that the shortest chain is on the top (watch the picture)
- then just join the two circles (left and right) together with a chain that has a jewelry clasp

If you are wondering about these two circles...
I had to use a very small, delicate wire, because that was the only way I could include the smallest chain. I just wrapped the wire around and around and then squeezed everything with pliers.

What do you think about these collar necklaces? Would you wear one? 

Comment below, I'd love to know what you think!

Button Pendant Necklace

Hello everyone! 

It's time for me to show you another DIY project out of buttons from Lots of buttons!

This project will show you how to make a beautiful button into a beautiful pendant necklace.

The steps are a bit tricky, but still easy to follow. 
And this is just my way of doing it, I'm sure you can find another way to make it even more simpler, but I had to do with the supplies I had. 

Buttons used: Bethany (and lost Marquis...)

So, first I took one wire that had a loop on one end and made another loop on the other end.
And so I put this wire through the shank of the button. 

Through each loop I attached one end of the wire.

I ''filled'' the spaces between the shank and the wire with some more wire. I'm pretty sure there are other ways too, but at that time I had no idea what else to do. But this works just fine, just make sure there aren't any sharp edges stick out.

Here is another version, a bit more vintage :)

I'm sure you can find a beautiful button from the site, so check it out and maybe you'll make a pendant necklace too :)

Have a nice day!
