Do you have a bunch of bobby pins lying around and don’t know what to do with them? Well, why not turn them into a trendy and unique necklace? Making your own bobby pin necklace is easy and affordable, and you can customize it to fit your personal style.
Materials Needed
To make a bobby pin necklace, you will need:
- Bobby pins (the amount will depend on the length of the necklace)
- Glue (such as E6000 or hot glue)
- Chain (you can use any type of chain, such as silver or gold)
- Jewelry pliers
- Jump rings
- Clasp
Step-by-Step Instructions
1. First, apply glue to the flat side of a bobby pin and attach it to another bobby pin’s flat side. Repeat this process until you have a row of connected bobby pins. Let the glue dry completely.
2. Once the glue has dried, use your pliers to open a jump ring and slide it onto one end of your row of bobby pins. Then, attach a piece of chain to the jump ring and close it using your pliers.
3. Repeat step 2 for the other end of the row of bobby pins, attaching the other end of the chain and a clasp.
4. Continue adding rows of bobby pins in the same manner until your necklace reaches your desired length.
5. Finally, trim any excess chain and jump rings using your pliers and your bobby pin necklace is complete!
