YOU`LL NEED

• 4 wooden decorative mouldings
• 3 chandelier ornaments or charms
• 9 11mm jump rings
• 1 can of flat black spray paint
• a drill & 3/32″ split point drill bit
• 2 pairs of pliers
• 8 inches of chain & a clasp (or ribbon)
• sandpaper or an emory board

STEP 1

The hardest part of this project is finding decorative mouldings that are small enough to use. A solution is to buy a large moulding and use an x-acto knife to carve out small parts. Usually, the wood used to make decorative mouldings is super light so it can be easily broken away after carving a few lines. Use sandpaper or an emory board to file the edges smooth. Lay all the pieces out on a table for placement. Mark each connecting area with a pen, making sure the markings are symmetrical.

STEP 2

Lay the mouldings on a wooden block and carefully drill holes through each marking. File away any rough edges and brush away any leftover dust.

STEP 3

In a well ventilated area, spray an even coat of flat black paint over the mouldings and charms. Apply a second and third coat if necessary. Let them dry completely.

STEP 4

Connect each piece with a jump ring using the pliers. Finish off the necklace with either 2 pieces of chain and a clasp or some ribbon.
