Materials Needed
- Chanel buttons (one for each link of the necklace)
- Chain necklace
- Jump rings
- Jewelry pliers
Creating a Chanel button necklace is a great way to give an ordinary chain necklace a chic twist. To make your own, you must gather a few materials, such as channel buttons, chain necklaces, jump rings, clasps, jewelry pliers, and scissors. Once you have gathered your materials, you can make your unique channel necklace!
Choose Buttons
The first step in making a stunning Chanel necklace is to choose your buttons. Choosing buttons that fit the look, you’re going for is important. Consider using classic round buttons for a timeless look, or perhaps try some decorative glass buttons for something more eye-catching. You’ll need eight small round buttons and four larger ones to make a replica of the famous Chanel necklace. Once your buttons are selected, you can start stringing them onto the chain.
String Buttons on Chain
Once you have chosen the buttons for your Chanel necklace, it’s time to string them together. Begin by taking a chain length and laying it out on a flat surface. Gently slide one of your chosen buttons onto the chain and secure it with a jump ring. Continue adding buttons to the chain until you reach the desired length of your necklace. Leave enough space at the end of the chain so you can attach the clasp later. Double-check to ensure all buttons are securely fastened onto the chain when you are done. Your Chanel necklace is now ready to be completed!
Attach Clasp
Once you have all of your Chanel buttons strung onto the chain, the next step is to attach a clasp to complete your Chanel necklace. Begin by cutting an extra piece of chain, just long enough to fit around the loop on the clasp. Attach the two ends using a jump ring. Thread the newly formed loop through the loop at the end of your necklace, then thread the clasp through it. Finally, close the jump ring to secure the clasp. Your Chanel necklace is now complete and ready to wear!
Trim Excess Chain
Once your channel necklace is complete, it’s time to trim off any excess chain. To do this, flip the necklace over so the clasp is facing down. Then use a pair of wire cutters to trim off any extra links past the clasp. Be sure to leave a small amount of slack on the chain to ensure that the necklace will lay correctly when worn. Once you’re satisfied with the length, close the clasp, and your channel necklace is complete!
Wear & Enjoy!
Now that your Chanel button necklace is complete, it’s time to wear and enjoy it! This DIY project is the perfect way to add a fun, unique look to your wardrobe. Not only is it easy to make, but you’ll be wearing a one-of-a-kind piece of jewelry. Enjoy your beautiful new Chanel button necklace and show it off with pride!
