Random Scraps Bib Necklace Tutorial

Created by: Valorie Nygaard-Pouzar

Designer Tips
Use whatever random scraps of chain you have handy, to create this quick and trendy layered chain bib-style necklace.

Determine how long you want the longest chain section, then cut each one about 1/4" shorter than the last. The longest chain in this design is 20".

You can also mix and match random short pieces of chain, and link together with jump rings.

Use large 13.5mm jump rings to link the chain ends together, and attach the clasp. Use 5mm jump rings to connect the smaller chain links to the large jump ring.

Use 2 pair of durable flat-nose pliers to open the (unsoldered) chain links and heavy jump rings.
