1 ADDITION, MANY WAYS- Chained It- "Body-Neck-Lace"

Here goes, as promised. The new feature!

This one adds an instant Glamification.
For this DIY you need to make a trip to a hardware store.

Things you need:
• Pliers
• 3m of chain
• Chain clasp
• Measuring tape (not shown in pic)
• Side cutter

I apologize if these descriptions are confusing, but in all honesty, I confused myself so many times while making this piece.

Steps:
1. Measure the length around your neck. Next measure the length from beneath your chest up over your shoulder, under your arm. Cut the pieces using a side cutter.
2. Neck piece: Using the pliers open the last hook and insert the chain clasp. This makes a necklace.
3. Place the neck piece and shoulder piece next to each other.
4. Find the mid-point on the neck piece. Attach a piece of chain from the midpoint of the neck piece to the bottom end of the shoulder piece.
5. I inserted a stud earring in the last ring of the shoulder piece, to ensure that I didn't loose my place and to lessen the confusion a bit.
6. This step is easiest done while wearing the piece. Put on the neck piece as you would any other necklace. Position the shoulder piece on your body. Throw the excess chain over your shoulder.
6.1. Mark off where the shoulder piece chain meets your shoulder.
6.2. Measure the length on your shoulder from the neck piece to the shoulder piece.
7. Now add in other pieces.
8. The last part. Again I would suggest wearing the piece for this step. Put on your almost complete Body-Neck-Lace. Take the hanging pieces over your shoulder, pull it out under your arm. Look at where it meets the front piece and attach! You now have an arm hoop.

Tada, there you go. Completed Body-Neck-Lace.

Phew! This took me a while but it was so worth it.

I highly recommend using pliers at all times!!! (I didn't and was left with aching fingers and chipped nails.)

*Hijabi's--- some eid inspo. The price and rate at which abaya's go out of style is just insane! So why not make your own?
