This necklace looks luxurious contradicting the cost of making.There isn't much that's needed to make it . It takes about 2 hrs to make it and you don't even need to have any knowledge of as to how to stitch the cloth to make it or anything. Its all just some stones , a piece of cloth and glue. Now, let us get started.

Cut the cloth to a boat shape with the top part having 2 inches more than the circumference of your neck. Glue the edges to the back 1 inch from each side.

NOTE:Remember that the width of the cloth must not bee too much such that it'll bend when you place it on your neck

Use the glue to place the stones and the half beads the way you want to design the necklace. Remember to not make it too crowded. The glue needn't perfectly accommodate the stones as it will dry off.

Filling Up the Space

Place the rhinestones in a design that will fill up the remaining vacant area of the cloth . Here I also placed them around the patches to make it look grand.

Stone Chain Decoration
