DIY: shark tooth necklace

PhotobucketPhotobucket
Shark teeth. So hot right now.

I mean...how badass are THOSE
Givenchy Spring '12 necklaces?

How to: DIY Shark Tooth Necklace
You will need:
28 inches of chain
1 foot of wire
1 clasp
1 jump-ring
1 shark tooth (
Soph and I got ours on eBay)
Pliers
Wire cutters
1. Using wire cutters, cut 1 foot of wire. Create a wire loop (how-to here).

2. Holding wire loop against the back of the shark tooth, wrap wire around the right side
then the left. Alternate sides 3 times.

3. Wrap remaining wire 3 times around the the loop you made in step 1.

4. Slip chain through the loop. Add clasp and jump-ring using pliers.

Raaaarrrr.

Sharks are totally having a moment! I just mentioned the Givenchy t-shirt & necklace earlier this week: http://www.oceanviolet.com/sharks-are-having-a-moment/
Now I can just make my own.
Love it!
Jessica

You can actually do a nice necklace without to contribute sharks' killing, it's not necessary...really, think in something else..
