How To:DIY Super Easy and Cheap Animal Necklace

I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning... Every day I find something creative to do with my life.Miles Davis




Omgosh I have been wanting to share the DIY for sometime, lets face it...what has been holding me up was actually finishing it lol. I did the first half nearly 2 weeks apart from completing the entire necklace.

Yes Yes if you are on Pintrest how many times have u seen these cuties made as keyrings, and etc. I loved it when I saw it and knew exactly what I wanted to do when I scored this eraser dinosaur pack for $1 from target on clearance.
You may not know this about me, but I love DIY stuff and crafts. I have not had much time to really get back into it since North was born,but slowly but surely I have found my supplies still packed up from when I moved to our new place...sad. I scored a laptop table from goodwill this week that is just the right size for doing some crafts,jewelry in particular. So lets get to the good stuff shall we?




Supplies:

Small Plastic toys or eraser Vinyl Mini Dinosaurs [Amazon] ,Walmart,Ebay]
Small Eyehooks [walmart,hardware store]
Jump Rings [craft store jewelry aisle]
Jewelry Pliers [ 7-Piece Jewelry Pliers Set Mini,craft store,hardware store]
Chain with or without a finish [craft]


The Process:

Step 1: Screw you eyehook into the back of the toy, you a bit of pressure [or whichever way you want the item to hang]
Step 2: Take your 2 sets of pliers and open the jump rings
Step 3: Slide the jump ring on both the eyehook and the necklace
Step: 4 Continue to do this until you are finished

That is all, so easy.




finished product...cute


Tips:

 You need some small plastic toys amazon has big packs for a good price. I will surely be ordering some from them for the next necklace.

 I also opted to purchase a finished cable chain necklace, so I would not need to buy extra findings (the clasp and end piece to make the necklace hook together) and to me it was easier, I got mine from JoAnns but any craft store or walmart will have them.

If you animals are in colors you do not like paint them first and let them fully dry.

 Also here is a helpful video for opening and closing jump rings. (very helpful for a beginner)
