HEADCHAIN DIY

everywhere in magazines and on lookbook I see these super cool people with chains on their heads and/or legs or wherever else. Heres Vanessa Hudgens with one:
isn't it cool?
i decided i could try to make one myself and it actually turned out alright so i'll share it with you guys. 
you'll need:
1. a bunch of old necklaces you don't like wearing anymore.
2. two pairs of pliers
thats it! lalala so easy
1. okay so first what i did is i opened up the loop on one of the necklaces by taking the pliers and using the cutting thing in the back, i made sure that the two necklaces combined was a little bit bigger than the circumference of my head so that it would hang down on the sides like in the picture above.(if the two together is too long just cut off some of the chain of one of the necklaces.)
2. next i just used the two pliers to pull apart the loop (you'll only need to do this once for the circumference because you can just use the clasps of either necklace to connect them on the other side.) then i pinched the loop together around the loop of the other necklace and clasped the other end together so i had one long circle.

3. then you'll need another chain to go across the center of your head, i used a beaded one because i thought it was interesting. if you decide to do that you can tie the ends to the chain, but if not you can just do the same clipping and pinching together of the loops that you did in the first two steps. here's what mine looks like: 




I also added a charm to the center of mine by just connecting the loops together again. 
thanks for readinggg.

xo grace.
