The sun has been shining (in September in Seattle!) and I’ve been trying to spend every possible moment outside. I was feeling the pull to get some of my creative energy out, though, so I decided I needed a quick, cute, easy project. And boy does this necklace deliver. It doesn’t take a lot of supplies, time, or effort, but you end up with a fun, unique necklace.
You’ll need flatback rhinestones, glue, a necklace chain, jump ring, and a pendant. All of these supplies can be found at a bead/jewelry store. The pendant is simply a lightweight metal cutout and cost about a dollar.
Add glue to the back of the rhinestones and apply to the pendant. If using super glue, take care not to glue your fingers together or the pendant to your work surface.
Once the glue has dried, open the jump ring and attach it your pendant.
Attach the jump ring to your necklace chain and press closed. And that’s it! I told you this project was super quick. Your new necklace is now ready to wear/give/admire.

That is a great idea for dressing up a relatively casual piece of jewelry and making it fancy!
Thanks, Tahira! Bling is always a good way to make something fancier:)
Hi, Were would I find the lightweight metal cut out as shown in you picture?
Thank You
I found mine at a bead/jewelry store. Sometimes you can also find them in the jewelry section of a craft store like Hobby Lobby or Michaels
I love this necklace and my tween daughter would love one too, wish I could find the flower pendant you used. Do you know if they carry them online? I have checked Hobby Lobby. There is not much for craft stores where we live. Thanks!
I got my pendant at Fusion Beads in Seattle. They have a pretty good online site, too. This pendant looks similar: http://www.fusionbeads.com/30mm-Olive-Floral-Filigree-Vintage-Lucite-Pendant
