DIY Crystal Necklace

I've been seeing lots of nice chunky necklaces these days and they are awesome accessories to wear if you want your wardrobe to have some sparkle or an instant lift. There are lots of necklaces available at many stores and they even have different types to suit the neckline of the blouse or shirt that you are wearing.

If you feel like being creative today, you can make your own easy DIY crystal necklace especially if you already have some tools that you will need. I have tried making some bracelets and necklaces before using various crystals and beads so this DIY tutorial will be easy for me and I'm sure for you all. I found this at POLYVORE and it's worth sharing. I know a lot of women are into accessories and into craft so making your own will make it more personalized. You can even give these as gifts to your girl friends.

DIY: Crystal Necklace by polyvore-editorial featuring White House Black Market necklaces

Materials needed:
wire cutters and pliers
chain
crystals (with holes),
eye pins (one per crystal)
clasp.

First, cut the chain to your desired length and attach a clasp to the end using pliers. Lay out the chain and figure out where you'll attach the crystals. Next, loop an eye pin through the hole in the top of the crystal and wrap and secure the pin through the chain. Do this last step for each of the crystals.
