Finding inexpensive, but still chic jewelry can be hard to find, which is where these DIY necklaces can come in handy for keeping things frugal yet fabulous.
Some of the designs here are simple to create with a few supplies like ribbon, beads and a little bit of imagination. Others are a bit more complex and will require some tools like a pair of pliers or a hot glue gun to create fetching designs for fashionistas of all ages. There are a few that tote a very refined style that will not only impress discerning friends, but also never have them guessing that you DIY'd the fancy piece.
DIY necklaces and accessories are great ways to add style when funds are low, but they're also a fantastic way to re-use pieces from old jewelry that might be broken.
