XXL Necklaces are a MUST to complete a good look this season. Big rhinestones, metal pieces and the mixture of gold and silver is no longer “NO NO”. Instead of investing a lot of money on one of these necklaces, why not do it yourself and recycle your old accessories … Yes! you heard! RECYCLED! Would you like this necklace that frames your face, draws attention and creates a shinny show on your neck? DIY DRAMA necklace!!

Process:
1. Make a half moon template and transfer the paper figure to the leather. Cut the shape of the base where you will glue all the accessories and beads. Punch holes every 2cm on top to mount the chain.

3. Let dry well. If you find metallic colored leather you can skip this painting step.

4. Start from the center working out to the sides. I glued an old chandelier earring in the middle as a centerpiece.

6. Keep gluing the pieces the same on both sides. I mixed gold with silver pieces for a more interesting look.

7. Try gluing the pieces as close as possible. When you are finished with the large pieces, fill in the small gaps with diamonds and rhinestones with the help of a toothpick for better accuracy.
