DIY: vinyl geometric necklace

hello hello! :) it's been too long! a good friend of mine asked me a while back to update, and with the holiday and everything, i definitely spaced and forgot, but Amber- this one's for you!

i have a super simple DIY today. i have seen similar necklaces made of metal, so i thought i would recreate one out of a material that is more easily... manipulated? anyways, you know what i mean... it's cheap and easy and pretty cute if you ask me ;)

okay so here we go...

you will need: chain in the color of your choice, matching metal loops & clasps, vinyl (easy to work with, keeps it vegan, cheap.. love it.), and i invested in a 1/16" hole punch (for a whole $5.50 @ the craft store) to make the holes for the metal loops. i bet you could use a box cutter too if you'd like!

step 1: cut out your triangles from the vinyl. you will need 6 for the necklace i made. step 2: i used my 1/16" hole punch and punched holes in all 3 corners of 5 out of the 6 triangles, but only 2 corners for the bottom one since you won't be connecting the furthest bottom point to anything. step 3: connect all the triangles with your metal loops and connect a piece of chain to each side. also attach a clasp to the top of one of the pieces so you can put on & take off your necklace :)

that's about it! it's pretty simple. total cost with the hole puncher and vinyl (got on sale in the scrap bin at joann's!) is about $15, but with that you can make about a thousand necklaces (not really) so it's really inexpensive! hope you enjoy!

ps: amber, if you're reading this... i made you one too since this blog is for you ;)

thanks for reading! xxo.
