How to make a rhinestone glasses chain!
I think glasses chains are so cool! This glasses chain design is super glam, made from a sparkly rhinestone string for some practical glamour! Please note that this tutorial contains affiliate links.
You’ll need these tools and materials to do this DIY:
1: A length of rhinestone chain at a length you like. Check this by wrapping it around the back of your neck and seeing where it falls against your chest.
2: Pliers. I used my cutting pliers to cut the rhinestone chain. I also used my flat nose pliers and round nose pliers.
3: Crimp ends that fit around the rhinestones. I used these rose gold coloured ones.
4: Two jump rings.
5: Two rubber glassses holders.
Follow these steps to make your cute rhinestone glasses chain:
1: Take one end of the rhinestone chain and place it inside one of the crimp ends.
2: Squash one side of the crimp end around the rhinestone strand using the flat nose pliers. Be careful here because the rhinestones like to pop out.
3: Squash the other side of the crimp around the rhinestones and the first side using the flat nose pliers again. Now your crimp end should be secured onto the strand.
4: Repeat step 3 for the second crimp end on the other side of the rhinestone chain.
5: Add a jump ring to one end of the chain and use it to secure the rubber glasses holder in place. Repeat this for the other end of the chain to finish your DIY off.
Now your rhinestone glasses chain is ready to use! Pop them onto your favorite spectacles or sunnies and shine on.
