DIY | Gogo Philip Inspired Crystal Hexnut Necklace

Asos.com is one of my absolute faaaavorite sites to shop at (disclaimer: not endorsing, I just really love them) because they have such unique pieces and their fashions are always on point. I spotted this totally DIY-able Gogo Philip necklace, so I made this necklace from some extra hexnuts on hand from my last project!

DIY Gogo Philip Inspired Crystal Hexnut Necklace

(Difficulty: Easy)

Supplies

(2) Jewelry pliers
(3) E-6000

(5) Jump ring
(6) Necklace chain (I ended up using silver instead of gold)
(7) Faux rhinestone stickers

Steps


1. Flatten out your cord end. Trim the cord end to the size of your hexnut as needed. File any sharp edges.

2. Apply E-6000 onto your hexnut and adhere your flattened cord end. Let dry.

3. Fill the hole of the hexnut with E-6000 and attach your sticky back faux rhinestone. Let dry.


4. Attach your jump ring to the hole of the cord end. String onto your necklace chain and wear!

Suuuper easy peasy right? This is another way to wear hexnuts without it being too hardware store-ish :)



** Don't wanna DIY? Prefer to B-U-Y? I'll be selling any extras I made, along with many other items, in my shop Two Teaspoons coming soon. Stay tuned!
