DIY Ribbon Wrapped Chain Necklace!

Are you looking for something colorful to wear on for any event? Or is it a summer day out with your friends? Well, in that case what would bring you more compliments than wearing a floral dress? You can get your summer look with the dress but the only thing that will complete your outfit is a vibrant necklace. DIY Ribbon Wrapped Chain Necklace will lead you to get the most beautiful necklace you have ever owned. You can select the color of the ribbon by matching it with your dress.

Now make the necklace and you will see how it affects your mood. Wearing colors will make you happy and this perfect necklace will do more to give you a complete outfit! You can wear it anywhere and you can make it as a permanent addition to your jewelry collection. Though if you want to change the ribbon later for any other dress, you can always do it but you can also make new ones as they are not going to cost you much.
To make this diy ribbon wrapped chain necklace, you are going to need two chains where one should be large and the other one have to be medium in size. You are also going to need lobster clasps, glue, jewelry pliers, jump rings and 1 yard ¼ inch of ribbon from your chosen one. When you are selecting the ribbon, make sure that you are having a relevant one matched with your dress. Choosing the ribbon will be more confusing but when you will get the right one, you will see how perfect your necklace will become.

Gather all the materials which you can buy from your nearest craft store. Select a flat and open surface to make this necklace. You have to start applying the ribbon to the large chain and for that you have to glue the end of the ribbon to the end link of the large chain. When you are going to wrap the ribbon on the chain, you have to do it on one side at first followed by the other. Each wrap should cover the part where the chain links are overlapped. Not wrapping in this way will lead the ribbon to slip under the chain and the overlap of the links will be shown. If you are not sure how it works, it would be better for you to try the wrapping before you glue the ribbon to the chain. Practice it at first and see how it works and when you are sure that you can do it in the way it has to be, then you can glue the end of the ribbon and start wrapping it around. After finishing one side, glue the end of the ribbon to the chain and then repeat the same process to wrap the other side.
Now as you are done wrapping the ribbon around the chain, now you have to join two jump rings on both side of the large chain. Use the pliers to open them and connect them properly. Next, add two medium chains on both sides of the large chain by connecting them to the jump rings. After that, add two more jump rings at the end of each medium chain so that you can add the lobster clasp which will enable you to secure the necklace. Now add the lobster clasp to the left jump ring and it’s done! Your diy ribbon wrapped chain necklace is ready to wear!
