Lariat necklaces have been around for years and are a fun and unique way to customize your jewelry daily. Wear it as a choker, a headband, a belt, a knot or tie… With so many ways to wear one, a lariat necklace is a must-have in your jewelry box!
A lariat necklace is quite simple to make and can be done in about 1 minute. Yes really! The key to a lariat necklace is to have enough chain (at least 2 feet but you can go longer depending on how you want to wear it) and that your shape is large enough to fit your charm through. This will allow you to feed the charm through the connector shape to hold the chain in place throughout the day.
To make your necklace all you will need is some chain, a shape for one end, a charm for the other end, some jump rings, and pliers! Check out our list below for links to grab the supplies used in this tutorial.
