The 2 Dollar, 2 Minute Necklace

I was wandering around the craft store one day, and of course, I had to stop in the clearance section. (You all know that's my favorite spot in every store!)

Anyway, I ran across these cool gold charms marked down to $1 and I knew I had to do something with them. I'm really into keys lately, so I was super excited to make something!


I also found a package with 2 thin gold chains for $1. While one of the chains wasn't long enough on it's own, when I put them together, they were the perfect length for a longer necklace.

A total of about 2 minutes of work for a cute accessory!

  1. You're a girl after my own heart heading to the clearance bin! Love that key charm. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! I don't have any good tips for you on using those little jewelry tools. Just practice on some metal wire would be my best suggestion. If you got up close and personal with the wiring on the beads of my necklace you would see that are far from perfect!! :)
