DIY wire wrapped stone necklace

It’s time to get crazy with our accessories and add some color.

I really loved this DIY, hope you like it too! Its really simple but also really effective.

1. 1 Bag of large plastic jewel stones (I found mine at Michael’s)
2. 1 Sheet of plastic canvas (found mine at Joann’s Fabrics)
3. 1 Yard of ribbon (local fabric store)
4. 20 gauge wire (Joann’s)
5. Pliers
6. Scissors
7. Glue (I ended up using hot glue, because I didn’t want to wait for the glue to dry)

Step 1

• Take your plastic canvas and an 8 inch plate.
• Trace around the plate and cut out.
• Cut inside your cut out circle to make a 1 inch thick ring.

Step 2
Start glueing your stones to your plastic canvas. Mix up your colors and shapes. Keep adding until it’s all filled up.
Do not fill up your whole circle. I recommend only going up about half way, other wise it gets too stiff and you wont be able to put it around your neck.

Step 3

• Once you’ve finished glueing on all your stones, you can start wrapping your wire.
• Start on the back side and tuck the end of your wire into your plastic canvas and crimp to hold.
• Keep wrapping until you’ve wrapped the whole thing.

Step 4
Take your ribbon and cut it in half.
Glue one end of each piece onto the back of your finished jeweled and wrapped necklace. I tucked my ribbon under the wire on the back side before I glued it.

This was a really quick and fun necklace to make. The hot glue worked really well and I’m sure, if you’re more patient than me, most other types of glue would work just fine too (including Aleene’s Tacky Glue, as seen in the supplies picture). This really is a cute necklace for Summer
