# DIY Triangular Neck Bibs The DIY Knotted Chevron Necklace is a Statement Making Piece By Nikki Taylor | Published 2012-11-23 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-knotted-chevron-necklace References: [instructables](http://www.instructables.com/id/Knotted-Chevron-Statement-Necklace-Two-Ways/step7/Add-The-Chain-Wear-It/) The DIY knotted chevron necklace is made by threading embroidery floss using a technique that is very similar to making [friendship bracelets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-couture-bracelet-kit). The trick to getting the pattern to appear in two different ways is by varying the direction of the strands. To start the jewelry piece, you must first loop a blue strand around a pin to create a knot and loop the other colored floss around the center. Then with patience, dexterity and keen attention to detail, the blue thread is crossed, wrapped and wound to create a harmonizing triangular piece. To finish off your piece, a long [gold chain](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/alhambra-collection) is attached onto the upper ends of the collared design. The DIY knotted chevron necklace hangs from your neck like a pattered bib, flaunting your envious macrame skills. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.8/10 - Popularity: 90% | Activity: 76% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/jewelry) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **DIY Jewelry Making:** The trend of DIY jewelry making allows for individuals to create unique and personalized pieces from the comfort of their own home. - **Macrame Techniques:** The use of macrame techniques in jewelry making allows for intricate and beautiful designs to be created with simple materials. - **Embroidery Floss Art:** The trend of using embroidery floss to create art extends beyond just friendship bracelets and into statement jewelry pieces. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Craft Supply Retail:** As more individuals take up DIY jewelry making, there is a growing opportunity for craft supply retail businesses to provide materials and tools. - **Online Art Marketplaces:** Online art marketplaces can benefit from the trend of embroidery floss art by providing a platform for hobbyists and small business owners to sell their unique jewelry pieces. - **Fashion Accessories:** The use of macrame and other DIY jewelry making techniques can disrupt the fashion accessory industry by offering consumers more personalized and unique options. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Wearable Sculptural Jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/3dtcable-collection.md) - [DIY Embroidery Ornaments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-stitched-ornament-kits.md) - [Customizable Jewelry Builders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jewelry-builder.md) - [Painter-Themed Charm Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-at-the-museum.md) - [14k Gold Noodle Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/forever-macaroni-necklace.md) - [Y2K-Inspired Flower Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foufou.md) - [Limited-Edition Luxury Necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dior-necklace.md) - [Glam Bracelet-Making Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/juicy-couture-bracelet-kit.md) - [Rope-Style Jewelry Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tiffany-and-co.md)
