make a (silly) statement with my DIY animal necklace

A quick trip to the discount store + a few odds n’ ends from around the house =

this fabulous bit of frippery!

Here’s how you can make a (silly) statement with my DIY animal necklace:

Get your hands on some little plastic creatures, a gaudy old necklace, pliers, wire & a mini-drill (or dremel)

deconstruct the necklace & add the tackiest bits to your stash…

re-construct the best bits of the necklace & choose your plastic victims…

drill a small hole straight through your pendant-sacrifice(s)…

slip a jump ring (or bit of wire) through the hole(s)…

attach to your new necklace & delight in your kooky new accessory!

Zebra-Tiger-Anteater Awesomeness

If you don’t want to skewer your animals, simply wrap ’em with wire…

loop it around your necklace and trim off the poky ends – et voila! An ultra fast giggle inducing trinket that can easily revert to its former self with a quick (un)twist of the wire.

…but this one is my favourite:
