I really like statement necklaces because you can wear a basic sweater, but when you pair it with a statement necklace, you elevate your look by ten thousand and now you look like you tried, especially when you didn't. I've actually been low-key collecting DIY statement necklace blogs all year long (because I'm an Internet hoarder like that...) and here are a few that I've found that are seemingly foolproof and will just require some free time, creativity, and some patience. I actually plan on trying a few of these out for some friends and family, I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
1. Colorful Beaded Necklace from makingitlovely.com
http://makingitlovely.com/2012/05/23/how-to-make-a-statement-necklace/
I think this necklace will be the quickest out of all of the links I'm going to talk about. This necklace can be used to colorblock a neon outfit or just jazz up a classic black ensemble. And of course, you can take your own spin on it and add different colors and lengths to yours. This necklace is simple, yet eye-catching and will definitely bring a smile to any statement necklace aficionado.
BREAK DOWN:
- 3 strands of the same color bead, just different sizes.
- make sure each strand is subsequently longer than the last
- attach together to a jump ring
- add a chain with a lobster clasp and you're done
2. chain, bead, ribbon necklace from beadandcord.com
This one is a good way to use leftover beads, ribbons, and chains just lying around. It seems fairly simple and creates a very fashionable necklace. I figure that I don't need to do a breakdown of the necklace since the picture is included.
