Now that you’ve gathered your materials, it’s time to plan your design. Sketch a rough design or have a clear idea in your head of what you want your necklace to look like. Think about the colors, textures, and shapes that complement your outfit and personal style. This is the fun part - let your creativity run wild!

Step 3: Assemble your necklace 🔨🧲

After you’ve planned your design, it’s time to start assembling your necklace. This is the most time-consuming step, so be patient. Cut the chains or ribbons to the desired length and attach the beads or trinkets using pliers, glue, or jump rings. Make sure to arrange them in the order you want them to appear on the necklace.

Step 4: Add finishing touches 🎀🌟

Once your necklace is assembled, add the finishing touches. This can include adding a clasp or hook to close the necklace and adding any additional decorations like tassels, charms, or rhinestones. This is your chance to make any final adjustments to the design and ensure the necklace is secure and comfortable to wear.
