How To-sday - Deconstructed Doll Milagro Necklace

About

I've been slacking lately on How To-sdays (yeah, yeah, yeah - and the whole rest of the blog), but I'm baaaack. This week's project is another Tutorial Exchange from Totally Tutorials. This one was constructed using a milagro set from Supply Pusher. It started off as an entirely different project, but that was, sadly, an epic fail, so here's what you get instead (I'd love to know what you guys think!):

You Will Need (9 things)

  • 2 Types of brass Chain
  • Pliers
  • E-6000 Adhesive
  • 1 milagro arms Charm(s)
  • 2 milagro legs Charm(s)
  • 2 milagro wings Charm(s)
  • 1 extra large brass Jump Ring(s)
  • several small brass Jump Ring(s)
  • Clasp(s)

Steps (13 steps, 40 minutes)

  1. 1

    Begin by cutting the rings off the top of the wings. You will not need them.

  2. 2

    Apply a dab of adhesive to the side of the large jump ring.

  3. 3

    Connect the jump ring to one of the wings using the adhesive.

  4. 4

    Repeat with the other wing. It should look like the above photo when you're done. Press under a couple heavy books to dry for awhile while you do everything else.

  5. 5

    I pre-drilled very small holes through each of the hands using a regular electric drill with the smallest bit. Thread an open jump ring through this hole and the existing one.

  6. 6

    Thread a short length of each chain through the jump ring, and then close it.

  7. 7

    Attach a jump ring to each piece of chain.

  8. 8

    Attach each jump ring between the tops of the wings.

  9. 9

    Thread another another with jump rings, and attach the two arms together using a long piece of chain. Attach the other hand directly to the large ring.

  10. 10

    Attach each leg to a different-length piece of chain using another jump ring.

  11. 11

    Attach each leg to the bottom of the large ring. Make sure they are facing towards you.

  12. 12

    Clip the long connecting chain at the middle, and attach a clasp to fasten it on.

  13. 13

    Here's your finished, very artsy piece of jewelry. It's like a little wearable conversation piece!!!
