DIY Rhinestone Collar Necklace

1a

We were completely inspired to create a necklace with our Swarovski crystals over the weekend.  Because we are obsessed with collars again this season, we decided to create a rhinestone collar necklace!  It was a lot of fun to create and the way it sparkles on sunny, snowy days makes us even happier!

Supplies:

2 size packs of Swarovski flatback rhinestones

1 size pack of Swarovski sew-on rhinestones

2 rhinestone buttons

1 ft. of ribbon

2 ft. of chain

Clasp

Jump ring

Gem glue

Matching thread & needle

Scissors

  1. This is so cute! It kinda makes me want to make one as a bowtie choker, if that makes sense. I love your DIY layout too, makes mine look like a 2 year old with a potty mouth did it, ha!
