How to refresh your jewelry box on a budget!

This was my most recent diy project & I just absolutely love how it turned out! All of the supplies are cheap & you can reuse all of these to make other projects as well!

What you’ll need:

- A pack a shell buttons: $5.99

- Stretchy string: $2.99

- Pliers + Jewelry making kit: $9.99

I simply strung the shell beads through their button holes and you get this adorable choker! If you look up a tutorial it’s super easy to finish off the necklace with the metal attachments. Overall this took me less than 30 minutes & now I have a super unique piece of jewelry!

... Read moreRefreshing your jewelry box doesn’t have to be expensive or time-consuming. This DIY button necklace project is a perfect example of how you can upgrade your accessory collection affordably while adding a personal touch. Using a pack of shell buttons, stretchy string, and simple jewelry tools, you can create a stylish choker that stands out — whether worn alone or stacked with other necklaces. When creating your piece, consider mixing different button styles or colors to match your wardrobe and mood. The use of stretchy string makes this project manageable, even for beginners, as it simplifies fitting and eliminates the need for complicated clasps. Finishing the necklace with metal attachments provides a professional look and durability. Besides adding a fresh piece to your jewelry box, this project encourages sustainability by allowing you to reuse materials for other crafts. Whether gifting your necklace or incorporating it into your daily style, this DIY approach celebrates creativity without breaking the bank. If you’re interested in more ideas, stacking your DIY choker with delicate chains or layering it with other lightweight necklaces creates trendy statement combinations perfect for casual or dressy occasions. Plus, DIY jewelry offers a rewarding experience that connects you with a creative community focused on handmade, unique accessories.
