It’s been a little while since I’ve been able to do these Roundups!

But now I’m back on track with DIY Roundup 4!  First let me share with you 2 pieces I recently made. I saw London-based jewelry brand bex rox featured in Lucky Magazine awhile back (below), and was taken with the idea of weaving ombre-dyed stain cord through the links of heavy curb chain to make a thick necklace.

 My version of the woven chain necklace.

I made two: one bright rainbow-colored, and one pastel shades colored!  I can’t decide which one I like better.;-)  And you could try this with leather cord, velvet ribbon, chiffon ribbon, rope…though if you chose something flat like a ribbon to weave through the links, you’d have to deal with the ribbon curling and tangling inamongst the links (which could have a nice result).  You could even make a high Elizabethan chain collar with black leather cord and go goth with it!  Anyway, it’s a cute little technique to try out sometime when you have a little time to kill (it does take awhile, fyi).

So now you get to share your own DIY’s!  If you have a DIY project or tutorial, please feel free to link below!  (However you can only link YOUR OWN PROJECT.  Please do not link others’ projects!)
