Metal Washer Necklace

My friend and I went around hardware stores hunting for metal tap washers to make a necklace (see below).

After making it, I had a lot of leftovers. Not wanting to waste them, I began brainstorming on what to make. I made a bracelet by connecting smaller washer with jump rings. (I have no idea where it went, so no pictures of it. Sorry.) I also made a simple necklace with the bigger washers.

But what I loved most was a flower pendant I made. It is really easy and looks very sweet.

As usual, here's what you need.

Wire of any size and colour, depending on your preference; metal washers and a wire cutter.

Instructions

1) Arrange the metal washers in a pattern you like.

2) Take two of the washers and using the wire, go through the hole in the first one and

then the second. Bring it back round and wind it a few times. Make sure it is taut.

3) Repeat step 2 for the rest until you have what you want. Use the wire to go round again for extra security and cut the wire.

4) Take two cords of different colours and fold it in half.

5) Take the loop and string it through one of the washers.

6) Take the one half of the cord and string it through the loop of the other end. Pull it taut.

7) Take both ends of the cord and wrap it around your neck and knot it.

Try and experiment with different washers and patterns. Do send me a picture of your pendant. :D

I still have extra washers though. I think my next project would be this. They make metal washers look different, more like pieces of jewellery. Can't wait to get started.
