You need:
– Some rhinestones, I used Swarovski ones which are gorgeous
– A square of transparent PVC
– E6000 glue
– Chain
– A large clasp
– Jump rings
– Scissors
– Beading plyers
– A needle and thread
– Paper
– A pen or pencil
1. Start by drawing up the template for your necklace.
2. Cut your template out.
3. Your template should look like this, or really any shape you want.
4. Stick the template to the PVC piece and cut it out.
5. This is what it should look like.
6. Lay out your design on the table.
7. Put some glue on a piece of paper.
8. Starting at the bottom, put some glue onto the rhinestones using a skewer or toothpick.
9. Press the rhinestones onto the pvc, working your way upwards and copying the pattern on the table.
10. This is what it should look like when you are done. Let it dry overnight.
11. Once it is dry, thread your needle and then fold the top edges of the pvc over to create loops for the chain. Sew it down with one or two stitches and then glue another rhinestone over the top of the stitch to hide it.
12. Thread two pieces of chain through each plastic loop and then attach the lobster clasps to one side and close the other side of chain with a jump ring.

This is gorgeous statement piece, I just never know where to find the larger size swarovski.

So pretty! And for the untalented or squinty eyed among us, drawing up a template and sticking it under the see through stuff as you stick on the rhinestones might make it easier to keep everything symmetrical! xoxo
Great idea, I was pretty relaxed about the pattern and just added to it as I went but keeping it symmetrical is key to the overall look. š
I love this idea! I’ll try to do this necklace! <3

how thick has the pvc to be?
I used 1mm PVC but I think aything between 0.5 and 3 mm would work. xx

Thanks a lot š

It is so ugly. Im sorry, but who wears plastic as jevellery. :O
THANK YOU!!!! I couldn’t agree with you more. While plastic jewelry is everywhere, most people try to make it look real. which makes it acceptable. This is just, …. are there words?
