  Step 1

  - 1 Metal Sheet 0.16 x 4 x 10?
  - Jump Rings
  - Chain
  - Lobster Clasp
  - Shears
  - Metal File
  - Craft Drill or Nail & Hammer (Not pictured)
  - Marker (Not pictured)

• 

  Step 2

  Using the downloadable pattern, create a template and trace out all 18 parts of the necklace onto the metal sheet. Make sure to use a semi-permanent marker that you can erase after!

• 

  Step 3

  When you’re done, use a pair of pruning shears to cut out the pieces! (Thinner metal sheet might “curl” so do experiment and find the best way to cut yours!)

• 

  Step 4

  File down the edges and sides as they might be sharp and uneven. Be careful!

• 

  Step 5

  Arrange the pieces according to the Necklace Pattern. As you can see, my printout was a draft version!

• 

  Step 6

  Using the same marker, mark out the spots where the holes are needed. Then, use a craft drill to create a holes close to the edge. Alternatively, hammer a nail through the metal sheet to create a hole.

  (Pattern sheet downloadable on OperationOverhaul.com!)

• 

  Step 7

  The edges of the holes might be sharp so it might be a good idea to file down again at this point.

• 

  Step 8

  Referring to the diagram once again, reposition all the pieces again and attach the jump rings as pictured.

• 

  Step 9

  After adding all the jumprings, you're almost done!

• 

  Step 10

  Lastly, add chains to both ends. Finish with a lobster clasp! You’re done!

• 

  Step 11

  Finished Product!
