Random Scraps Bib Necklace Tutorial

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.
