Today's tutorial is super simple, but the result is a minimal and delicate ring. It is so chic and easy to wear, you'll reach for it every morning. I know I do!
Materials:
- thin chain
- toggle set
- 2 small jump rings
- pliers
Instructions:
1/ Wrap the chain around your finger and cut the appropriate length.
2/ Open one jump ring, attach one end of the chain and the ring of the toggle. Close the ring.
3/ Open the other ring and attach the other end of the chain to the bar of the toggle.
And that's it! Just wrap the ring around your finger and close the toggle. Stack this unique ring with other jewelry or wear it on it's own. The possibilities are endless!
There's something to be said about minimal and simplistic jewelry. These dainty earrings can be worn all day everyday, adding polish and elegance to any look. Plus, they are super easy to make!
We all have those perfect boots - you wear them so much that they start feeling a little boring.Today's DIY is the best way to spruce up a basic pair of black boots. Sure, the chain straps look pretty darn cool, but they're removable too! You don't have to completely sacrifice your favorite boots and they're even more wearable.
I was first inspired to add heavy chain embellishments to my boots when I saw this pair by Givenchy. But this tutorial from A Pair & A Spare showed me that I could make them removable too! Here's my take:
1. Measure then cut the chain so it wraps around the top of the boot. I would suggest for you to remove one or two links so it will be really snug with the elastic.
2. Attach one jump ring to each end of the chain.
3. Open another jump ring and add on to one of the rings from the previous step. Then link on a hair elastic.
4. Link the same elastic to the other end of the chain with two more jump rings.
5.Repeat steps 1-4 for the other boot.
6. I wrapped embroidery thread around the middle of the elastics. This is to prevent the elastics from snagging and pulling the whole strap off.
Now just slip these babies on over the toe of each boot, and your good to go! The heavy curb chain adds just the right touch of edge to your basic boots. Go ahead and try this out, it's just too easy.
Easy everyday look suitable for work and everyday. It's so easy, natural and minimal that it's hard to look like a plastic clown afterwards! It will work even for monolids and single lids. I explain the approach to thinking why any tutorials with "double lidded" people are still applicable to you!
