This necklace makes use of clasps to create a customiseable design that you can mix and match. Make as many of these strands as you like, and clip them together for a custom look each time. please note that this tutorial contains affiliate links.

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

1: Pliers. I used my round nose (middle), cutting (left) and flat nose pliers (right).

2: Two lengths of tiger tail wire. Make sure they add up to be long enough to fit around your neck. You can measure this by wrapping the wire loosely around your neck, choosing the necklace length you like, then cut the wire in half.

7: Beads of your choice. I used some recycled timber beads (the blue disks and natural tone beads) and some yellow glass beads. I also used a floral glass bead to make an extra charm.

Follow these steps to make your customisable necklace that clips together:

1: Take one of the pieces of tiger tail wire and add two crimps and one of the jump rings.

2: Loop the end of the wire around the jump ring and through the crimp beads.

3: Squash the crimp beads to secure the jump ring to the end of the wire.

4: Begin beading in your choice of pattern.

5: Once you have reached the length you like, add another pair of crimps and a jump ring to the end of the wire as you did in steps 1-3. This will secure the beads on the strand. Trim the excess wire with cutting pliers once the end has been secured.

6: Repeat steps 1-5 for the other strand.

7: Attach a lobster clasp to each end of the pair of strands by opening the jump rings slightly, sliding the clasps on and then closing the rings using your pliers.

You can clip the strands together at this point.

8: Take the head pin and add your accent beads.

9: Bend the top of the pin over and then curl it into a loop using your round nose pliers.

10. Attach the charm to one of the strands.

Now your necklace is finished and ready to wear, open up one side and put it on as you would an ordinary necklace. Make as many clip end strands as you like so you can mix and match them depending on your outfit or mood!
