Interchangeable Necklaces

I love to match my jewelerry to my outfit. I thought this necklace was cute, so i then though, why not make more of them? Make them interchangeable! I made three different colours, pink, blue and green.

Ingredients:
- Chain
- Fimo (Three or more colours)
- Round object to draw around or cut with
- Two pairs of pliers
- Three jump rings (Or however many peices you've made)
- Push pin
- Lobster clasps (Optional)



Here's what you'll need. The lobster clasps are optional.

To make the pendants


First you need to get some fimo. Roll it around in your hand and make it nice and soft. Put it onto a surface and roll it out with some kind of rolling pin.

Take your round object and cut some circles with it, however many pendants you want to have.

Get your push pin and make holes at the top of the pendants. This will be where you put the jump rings, so make sure the pin is big enough to put them through.

Cook your fimo for however long the packet says, then leave to cool.

To put the pendants on the necklace


Get your jump rings and push them through the holes in your pendant. (Make sure it's properly cooled or you won't get them through and run the risk of breaking or warping them)

Nows the time to put your lobster clasps on. Before you close your jump ring, just slide a lobster clasp on and close it real tight.

Slide the jump ring onto the necklace, or if you've added the lobster clasp, just clip it to where you want it.

Don't forget that you don't have to just have a plain necklace, you can decorate it any way that you want to!

Wear your new necklace with pride!


These are the colours that i chose to do my necklace in. Hope you enjoyed the tutorial!

Ciao for now!
