Easy Paperclip Necklace

[PenolopyBulnick]

So I wanted to make a necklace with paperclips, but I didn't want it to be obviously paperclips.  I think it worked out pretty well.

You can find the full directions here: http://www.instructables.com/id/Simple-Paperclip-Necklace/.

For now, here is what you need:

• Paperclips, the normal small kinds, #1 sized
• Big beads that are 6mm
• Small beads that are 3mm
• Needle nose pliers
• Round nose pliers
• Wire Cutter (I used a tin cutter because that's what my husband had)

Thanks!  I was going for very much not like a paperclip and so far most people can't tell that's what it's made of just by looking at it!

Yeah, this rocks! It's so elegant looking. How long did it take you?

Thanks!  I wouldn't say it took that long.  Maybe a couple of hours since you need to straighten all the paperclips first.
