How To Make A DIY Antique Inspired Necklace

 A DIY Inspired Piece

I realize I am just a southern girl who loves jewelry, earrings, necklaces, and more. But I get excited when I see something I can make that is unique and fits my ever-changing style. The other day I walked into the craft store looking for one thing and stumbled upon something that made me stop clean in my tracks.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw a metal antique-looking chain and next to it a heart locket. I mean you just can not get any easier than this set right here. 

Now, I may not be the smartest crafter in the bunch. But, I do know an excellent piece of jewelry when I see it.  Do it yourself pieces have come a long way. The styles and ideas are endless now. Anyone can make all types of necklaces and earrings with a few odds and ends. 

It's so; easy a tot can help you do it. I was looking for a vintage necklace at the second-hand store and was having no luck. So, I decided to go to Hobby Lobby and Michael's craft store and find something new I could make. And there it was all the pieces I needed to make my necklace. It came in a rustic brown and green color. I chose the rusty green look with a hint of gold bronze. 

I found the chain first then I looked for the charm I wanted to add. I couldn't resist getting the large heart with the lock key and four small sparkles fake diamonds.  I would love to add there were several other styles to chose from that were all amazing. I spent a total of about 10 dollars after my coupon. That was amazing because the necklace is mid-grade heavy.

The steps are simple: remove the chain and slide through the heat and locket. That is all. 

In conclusion, I paired the necklace with my leopard watch and vintage ring I did find at the thrift market. In all retrospect, this was an easy project that anyone could make, or sell. Seriously, someone would pay a good penny for this idea.

Would you wear this necklace?
