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.

      Thank you! I have been told that many times, the problem is I get bored and like to do different crafty things. I think if I made it into a business it would become a chore, I rather share all my ideas 🥰
