If you had a secret diary this lock and key tutorial is perfect for you!
For some reason I had a lock and key from my childhood diary lying around, so I decided to turn it into something nostalgic and wearable! This tutorial contains affiliate links.
You will need the following tools and materials to make your lock and key jewelry set:
1: Pliers. You will need your flat nose pliers and round nose pliers.
2: Two small pieces of chain.
3: One long piece of chain long enough to form a necklace.
4: Six jump rings.
5: A lobster clasp.
6: Two charm connector earrings.
7: Two keys and a lock. I used these ones from an old lockable diary.
Follow these steps to make your lock and key jewelry set:
1: Add a key to the end of each small piece of chain, securing them using two of the jump rings.
2: Add an earring finding to the top of the small pieces of chain using another two jump rings.
3: Now your earrings are finished, set them aside and start on the necklace!
4: Add the lock to the long piece of chain.
5: Add a jump ring to one side of the chain.
6: Add the lobster clasp to the open jump ring and close the ring to secure the clasp in place.
7: Add the other jump ring to the other side of the necklace chain to finish the necklace.
Now your lock and key set is finished and ready to wear! So cute!
