Freebie Friday- DIY fringe necklace

i'm sure all of us love fashionable jewelry and our lady Keri is kindly walking us through this amazingly simple tutorial.  featured on Bohemian Backbone {the blog}, she takes us step by step to a finished boho fringed necklace for you to make in the comfort of your own home. 

You will Need:

1. Chainette Fringe 24" long
2. Chain (mine was 36" long and I ended up cutting a few inches off of it)
3. Clasp for necklace
4. Hot glue gun and glue

Step 1:
Lay out your 24" of fringe and double it over to get "twice the fringe and texture."
Step 2:
Line the middle of the chain up with the fringe.
Peel back top layer and glue chain in between the two layers.
Glue small pieces at a time, and press down (video recommends using a pen cap to press the chain into the glue.) Don't use your fingers!
Step 3:
Fold over second layer, gluing fringe to chain and attach the chain together with a clasp.

Keri also shares the video she learned this from and has more pretty thing tutorials on her blog. Be sure to check her out and enjoy her lovely shop!
