DIY Charm Necklace
Have you noticed that charm necklaces are everywhere nowadays. I really wanted one for myself and I found a bunch of charms in my jewelry drawer that I thought I could use to make my very own.

I purchased a paperclip chain necklace from Alex and Ani that was relatively inexpensive but looked very beautiful with a very nice clasp. They also sell a ton of charms at Michael's and online but I happened to already have a bunch to use!
I then used links to add the charms onto the chain. I think the hearts were off a zipper, so you can get creative!
For some I used a clasp so that I could move the placement.
I also counted each link to space out the charms evenly but I think that you can also make it less uniform if you prefer.
I also used a flat head pin that I threaded with a pearl, then wire wrapped to make another charm. Also the clasp itself was so pretty and doubled as one of the charms.
I love being able to spin this to show off the different charms.
Enjoyed the project?
