DIY #9 - Fairy Door Necklace

 

 

Hey there! Here is my next tutorial. It's pretty simple and I find it adorable.

 

Supplies:

-Miniature Fairy Door (I found mine in the miniature section at Michaels)

-Gold wire (I used 20 gauge, also from Michaels)

-Gold chain

-1 gold jump ring

-Jewelry pliers

-Wire Cutters

-Strong glue

 

 

Steps:

 

First things first, remove your fairy door from its packaging. 

 

Put that to the side and grab your gold wire. Cut off a piece about three inches long with your wire cutters. Starting at one end, start rolling the wire into itself, creating a bail. With the last half inch or so of wire, bend it at a right angle and curl the end into a loop. In case that was confusing, you should end up with something like this:

 

Now, using your strong glue, glue your handmade bail to the top back of your Fairy Door. The small loop at the top should be sticking out past the top of your door so later we can add our chain and jump ring. 

 

 

While you wait for the glue to dry, prepare your chain. Figure out how long you want your necklace to be, and don't forget to account for the length of your Fairy Door pendant. Once you have a measurement in mind, cut your chain to your desired length. Before you attach the two ends of the chain to each other, slip on a jump ring.

 

 

 Once your glue is dry, open the jump ring that you have on your chain and attach it to the loop on top of your bail. Then close it up again and you're done! You're very own Fairy Door Necklace!

 

Enjoy!
