Use Special Charms and Some Awesome beads to make this stunning necklace.

This pendant necklace is so cute! Use a pre-made pendant, or make your own, and surround it with some pretty accent beads to make a lovely little necklace!

You will need the following tools and materials to make this necklace:

1: Pliers. You will need your cutting pliers, round nose pliers and flat nose pliers to make this necklace.

2: A piece of chain long enough to fit around your neck. You can make your chain longer or shorter depending on where you want your necklace to sit.

3: Two eye pins.

4: Two smaller jump rings.

5: One medium sized jump ring.

6: A lobster clasp.

7: A pendant or charm. I used this bent wire charm that used to be an earring.

8: Extra beads. I used two silver colored metal beads. You can use any beads that you think will complement your chosen pendant or charm.

Follow these steps to make your necklace:

1: Split the piece of chain in half, you will have two equal length pieces of chain.

2: Add each of the accent beads to each of the eye pins.

3: Bend each eye pin at a right angle to the beaded section using the round nose pliers.

4: Trim each pin if required, the angled part of the pin should be approximately 1cm in length.

5: Create a loop at the top of the pin using the round nose pliers to secure the beads onto the pins.

6: Add the beaded pins to one end of each chain.

7: Attach the other ends of each beaded pin to the larger jump ring and slide the charm on in the middle of the two chains.

8: Close the jump ring to secure the chains and charm together.

9: Add a smaller jump ring to the other end of one of the chains and add the lobster clasp to the same jump ring. close the jump ring to secure the clasp in place.

10: Add the other jump ring to the other side of the necklace, close it to secure it in place.
