Paperclip Jewelry

I made this necklace from stainless steel paperclips. A little creativity, a pair of jewelry pliers, and some turquoise were all I needed to make my Mom's gift for Christmas this year. Experiment with your pliers and some paperclips and before you know it you'll be creating a work of art.

Round nosed jewelry pliers can be found at most craft stors. I got these at Micheal's.
















The rounded tips of the piers help you make a natural, consistent curve to the links.
Looking at the links you've already done will help you keep them uniform in size and shape. I ended up clipping off about 1/6 of the paperclip to make them the size I wanted.
