After reading through your comments on my last DIY tutorial,
Texas Rangers Hats, I saw how much you guys love these tutorials, so today I’ll show you how to make a fantastic piece of statement jewelry – a ribbon necklace.
By weaving the ribbon through each chain link and adding an extra chain, you can toughen up the look of the necklace. This version would make a great statement piece to wear with a leather jacket!
Read on for the 2 easy steps so that you can make your own necklace, too!
This was my first attempt at making the necklace,
Christian Louboutin, and as you can see,
New York Yankees Hats, I wove the ribbon through every other chain,
Wholesale Cincinnati Reds Hats, and attached 2 similar-looking brooches on either side.

After you finish weaving the ribbon through the chain, use your pliers to open each of the two jump rings,
Cheap Oakland Athletics Hats, and secure one at either end of the necklace. You can use your pliers to close one of the jump rings, but leave the other one open and attach the clasp to it. To keep the ribbon in place,
Tampa Bay Rays Hats, I knotted each end onto the jump rings,
Cheap Atlanta Braves Hats, and then trimmed the ribbon down.

Once I was done, I decided to play around with the necklace some more,
Players Authentic Hats, so I added another chain and twirled it around the first. I also tried securing both brooches on one side,
Cheap Los Angeles Dodgers Hats, but found that the weight distribution was too unequal.

Take the ribbon and weave it through the chain. At first I chose to weave it through every other link, as shown above, but you can also braid it through every link, as shown in the last finished picture. Which style you choose will affect the overall look and style of the necklace,

For this necklace, I was inspired by the Ann Taylor necklace (above left) that retails for over $100. I love the femininity of it, but also how it combines a chain and some sparkle with girly details. This necklace would be the perfect accessory for an LBD at night, but is also casual enough to throw on over your white tee and wear to class.
