Okay, so, I’ve been seeing these tarot card necklaces everywhere lately, and I gotta say, I was intrigued. I’m not super into tarot, but I do love a good statement piece, and these necklaces definitely fit the bill. So, I decided to give it a shot and make my own.
Getting Started
First things first, I needed to gather my supplies. I had some old jewelry-making stuff lying around, so I grabbed some chains, jump rings, and clasps. Then, I went online and found a bunch of cool tarot card pendants. You can find some really nice ones, with different styles and meanings. I picked out a few that resonated with me – The Star, The Moon, and The Lovers. Pretty basic, I know, but I liked them.
Putting It Together
Once I had all my materials, the fun part began. I started by laying out my chains and pendants to figure out how I wanted the necklace to look. I decided to go for a layered look, with The Star pendant on the shortest chain, The Moon on the middle one, and The Lovers on the longest. Seemed like a good balance, you know?
Next, I used some pliers to open up the jump rings and attach the pendants to the chains. This was a bit fiddly, but I managed to get it done without too much trouble. Be careful not to scratch the pendants, though! Once the pendants were on, I added the clasps to the ends of the chains, and voila! My very own tarot card necklace.
Final Touches
I tried on the necklace, and I was pretty happy with how it turned out. But something was missing. It needed a little extra something. So, I decided to add some charms. I had some tiny star and moon charms that I thought would be perfect, and I also added a little heart charm to The Lovers pendant, just for a touch of sweetness.
Rocking My New Necklace
With the charms added, my necklace was complete, and I was ready to rock it. I’ve been wearing it non-stop since I made it, and I’ve gotten so many compliments. People are always asking me where I got it, and I love telling them that I made it myself. It feels good to wear something that’s unique and that I put my own personal touch on.
If you’re thinking about making your own tarot card necklace, I say go for it! It’s a fun and easy project, and you’ll end up with a piece of jewelry that’s totally you. Just be careful with those pliers!
