Simple DIY – Straight Pin Necklace

I got this idea the other day, when I was making something (which, by the way, didn’t succeed) using straight pins. After the unsuccessful project, pins were lying on the table with all those pinheads together and I liked it. I wanted to make something with those pins and this was my first idea. Now, after making the straight pin necklace, I like the result and so does my niece who already took my necklace home with her. (Thanks for being a model, Hana!;))

If you want to make one too, you’ll need: chain necklace, small double split ring, straight pins (I used 20 pins.) and some basic tools – end cutters and long nose pliers.

First cut of the (dangerous) end of a pin, bend the remaining end of the pin (using pliers) to create a small hook and use pliers to attach it to the small ring. Repeat the process for all the pins. Then place the ring on the necklace and you’re done.
