DIY Necklace: Quite a Spectacle

Leap day does not come often, so I wanted to share something special, that you probably won't see often and is well, quite a spectacle. It is quirky and in true Tipsy fashion totally affordable DIY style! It's a DIY necklace that makes quite a statement, but what else would you expect from a fun Anthro Knock off?


I shared this about a week ago on Brassy Apple as a part of her fun accessories series, but thought I would share here for anyone who missed it.

Anthropologie version: $498 (no longer available) My DIY necklace version: $7.50

That's a 98.5% savings. ;)

DIY Necklace Supplies: 6 pairs of reading glasses (dollar store) Glasses screwdriver 8-10 Jump Rings 12 mm Chain
1. Gather your glasses and remove all stickers and tags. Use a tiny screwdriver to remove all the screws and remove the frames. Lay six pairs of glasses in a pattern that you like to prepare them to be put together.  

2. Connect three pairs of glasses by placing the jump rings through the screw holes. Do this twice so you have two sets of three pairs of glasses.

3. Now connect the sets of glasses with three jump rings so the bottom of the necklace will be more rounded.

4. Add your chain. Use jump rings if it is just a chain. Mine was the chain to an old pocket watch so I just looped it through one side and hooked it on the other.

Now rock your new DIY necklace on and see what a spectacle you can make! And hey if you need reading glasses, you'll never be short a pair!
