Glitter, Bow Tie Necklace, DIY

In my InStyle Magazine this month
I saw this.


so I made this
Loved it,
Wanted it,
Made it,


Tutorial
Things you need.

  1. Leather
  2. Scissors
  3. Leather hole punch
  4. Jump Rings
  5. Clasp
  6.  Glue
  7.  Pliers
  8.  Plumbers Chain ~I bought 10 feet of brass chain for $6.00~

Cut this out

Trace the bow on your leather and cut out.
cut a strip about 1 inch for the middle of the bow.
gather the middle of the bow,
wrap the inch piece around,
glue, 
I held mine with a clothes pin until dry.

 Cover with glue
Sprinkle with gliter
Let dry
then cover with glue on top of glitter to seal it


Measure your chain,  to the length you want, cut the chain in half using your pliers.
Punch two holes at the top of your bow
Add your jump rings.
and your chain.
then at the other end of the chain add your clasp and jump ring.
and with that you are finished.
I can also see this on a headband.

I think this will be fun for the holidays.
Have a wonderful Saturday!!
Enjoy every second.
Lots of <3
