Create your own lace necklace!

It’s easy to make your own lace necklace with this tutorial courtesy of Ruffledblo­g.com:

-

❏ Scissors Heavy lace Two equal lengths of thin necklace chain Jump rings (making sure they are small enough to fit through the chain) Wire cutters Pliers Needle and white thread Jewelry clasp 1With the scissors, cut out two shapes to your liking from the lace, and place them side by side to create a “mirror” effect. Carefully stitch the pieces together using the needle and thread. 2Open one jump ring with the pliers; put around one end of a necklace chain and one corner of the lace. Use plier to close. Repeat on the opposite side of the lace using the second necklace chain. 3Once both lengths of chain are attached, hold the necklace up to determine your desired length; cut off any excess chain with the wire cutters. Attach the jewelry clasp to the ends of both chains.
