Interchangeable Herbs & Spices Necklace

Throughout this Instructable I will show you how to make a sweet, interchangeable, spice vessel necklace. I kind of made it up as I was going. I started with the jars, and kept asking myself over and over again how I would attach them to a necklace still allowing them to come in and out...Finally the light-bulb turned on...ELASTIC BANDS!!!!! VERY TINY ELASTIC BANDS!!!

Supplies:

Cool glass jars
Dental elastic bands
Hemp string
Crafting wire
Scissors
Clasp
O-ring

Where to Find The Supplies:

Cut Your Hemp String

Cut about 4 feet of hemp to work with.
Now cut this 4 feet in half to make two 2 foot pieces.

Tying the Elastic Bands Together

Tie three Dental elastic bands together using a cow hitch (the next image shows a detailed diagram of the knot being tied using larger elastic bands).
Repeat step one and connect both to the O-ring.

This is not the easiest thing in the world to accomplish. But once you've got it down, it's not tooooo bad.

REMEMBER: The Dental elastic bands are very strong! You can stretch these babies far to help you get this knot down.

Attaching the Hemp

Tie each piece of hemp to either ends using a basic Overhand Knot.
Grab your Jewelry Wire, about 2 inches of wire per knot. Bend one end of the wire about 1/8-1/4 of an inch. You're going to wrap around that wire to hide it neatly.
It should look something like this.

Attaching the Clasp

Cut your hemp to the length of your choice on either side.
Thread the hemp through both Jewelry Clasp pieces and tie a knot.
Like in the previous step, wrap your wire neatly around securing the hemp.
Make sure to trim any access wire and hemp.

Add Your Vessels!

Now add your Cool tiny glass jars to the necklace!
Simply stretch out the elastics and insert the jar through until the elastic is tight around the jar's neck.
Fill with spices of your choice.
I love having Salt and Pepper with me wherever!
