Hardware Store Necklace Tutorial. April 27, 2011 7:52 am I was really inspired by a couple of these necklaces that I had seen on the runways this year.
After taking a closer look at them I knew I could make something similar. Here’s what you’ll need from your local hardware store: -varying sized washers -bike chain -gold metal wire I also needed extra gold chain. First, tie a ribbon to make your bike chain connect. This will be the strong base of your necklace. Spray them gold on both sides. Now, attach a piece of your chain to the bike chain and begin stringing the washers by wrapping around them once. Keep stringing them until you get the heaviness you want for your look. Look how great the completed project looks! (my sister, Francesca was here from Arizona so I got a fresh faced model!) This entire project cost me about $7 and took me about 20 minutes. Who knew bike chains and washers could be so chic? This tutorial is also over at MODE Bay Area today along with some other great articles!

Now for the Wrappers: I have already been warned by Aubrey's 5 year old boy friend that he will not eat a pink cupcake so I decided to spare her the embarrassment and make a few boy labels too. lol To make the wrappers I simply found images online and edited them in Picnik. Here is the Pinkalicious chapstick label I made. This was a huge time saver!
To attach my labels I used standard packing tape and plain printer paper..
