I was browsing online (no pushy sales ppl and you can stay as long as ya want!) and came across some cool necklaces. Some were ridic ($470!) and I knew I could make some myself and here's how!
You'll need--
-washer from hardware store. Pick the size you'd want. Use more if you want.
-wire or leather cord to wear your finished product. Cut to length desired.
-scissors
Optional--
-wire cutters (is using wire)
-needle-nose pliers
-paper with design
-spray paint
Create--
-If using wire, there are several options--you can wrap the wire around the washer as in the top left inspiration photo, or use the wire as the chain
-You can spray paint the above or just the washer (gold, silver, black, copper, etc)
-You can use leather as the chain or a ribbon.
-You can cover the washer in paper. Trace the washer, cut it out, and use glue and/or Modge Podge to hold it in place/give it a glossy look.
-Additional ideas: use wire and add beads to wrap around the washer.

The results are endless. I can't wait to see your results, crafty loveys!
