DIY: Gold tube necklace

I do love my statement jewelry but sometimes it’s nice just to wear simple, delicate pieces for a casual look (especially when it's so hot outside). I've been wanting a simple bar necklace for a while but couldn't settle on anything so I decided to make my own version instead.

Supplies:

- Curved Noodle Tube Beads 40mm x 2mm: I got these tubes from Amazon and am very happy with the purchase. They are made from 14K gold filled, come in a pack of 2, definitely have a good weight and feel to them.
- Fashion chain: You can use an old chain if you'd like. I got this chain from Michael's. Make sure your chain is small enough to feed through the tube.
- Jump rings and spring rings: I got these at Joann's but you can find them at any craft store.



How to do:

• To make it easier - First, I use a piece of thread to loop through the first ring on the chain
• Feed that thread through the tube and pull
• Cut the chain to your desired length. My shorter one is 15 inches and my longer one is 17 inches. I like to layer my necklaces
• Attach a jump ring and a spring ring to each end and you're done!

This necklace literally takes 5 minutes to make. I am not a crafty person at all but they turned out great. I plan to get a few more tubes and make myself some matching bracelets.
