DIY Chevron Necklace From Paint chips

Chevron is everywhere! Chevron clothes, jewelry.. even wedding themes.  As I keep seeing chevron it makes me want everything chevron too!... Well maybe not everything but I definitely did want a necklace in that pattern.  As I was looking at Pinterest of all the cute clothes that were accessorizes with a chevron necklaces I got motivated to try to make my own jewelry at home... even if I had to start at beginners level (I've never made jewelry before).  I made my necklace grey, black and white and I love how it turned out!  But maybe next time I will choose colors that "pop" so it can be more of a statement piece or a bracelet to match. But here is a tutorial for a cheap do it yourself necklace.


Step 1: Gather Supplies

• Paint chips.  I originally had 4 but decided I like 3 better when I put it all together.  It is however big you would like it.
• Scissors
• Double sided tape
• Necklace band

 Step 2: Tape paint chips together
I first layered them leaving a space to show off the previous color.  Then I used a short piece of double sided tape cut in half to put on each side of the V.  I also used a small sliver of tape at the bottom corner of the V (do this step for every layer).

Step 3: Cut the top layer in a V shape
In this picture you can still see the writing from paint pieces but I cut them a little smaller so I wouldn't see that part when I was all finished.
Step 4: Attach necklace band
I used a small leather band.  I cut it in half so that I could tape each one inside one of the layers.(Probably not the most professional way to do this but it attached easier this way)
