5. Turn your necklace into a headband by adding an elastic hair tie
This is a super easy project for all DIY lovers. One of the most creative jewelry makeover ideas ever is how to transform an old necklace that you don’t wear anymore into new hair jewelry. The best part of this DIY idea is that you can still wear it as a necklace too if you want. In order to get this jewelry makeover done, you will need the following materials:
- A necklace or a chain, about 18 inches long
- Elastic hair tie
- Needle nose pliers
Instructions:
- First, use the needle nose pliers to bend open one of the jump rings at the end of the necklace or the chain. Extra tip: if your necklace does not have links that can easily open, you can add your own jump ring at the end. That will make it easier for you to close it again if you decide to wear it later as a necklace.
- Then, insert the elastic hair tie into the ring and close it back with the pliers.
- On the other end of the necklace, open the lobster clasp and insert the elastic tie inside it.
- If it fits snugly, then you are done with your headband. Or, if it does not fit, then you can try using a different-sized elastic tie. Adjust until you get the fitting one.
- Voila, you are done!
