DIY Chain Tassel Lariat Necklace

As I was browsing through the Vogue Accessory Italy Spring/Summer 2009 magazine last night {which I was lucky enough to receive from an ex co-worker just yesterday …thank you By Twil!} I stumbled upon this fabulous tassel necklace by Blugirl and fell in love. And then I remembered that just last week I specifically went to JoAnne’s to pick up some chains to stitch onto my bikini …but didn’t use them because the ruffle came to me after and clearly, I thought it was better. And then right after that I remembered that the trip to JoAnne’s prior to that I snatched up a few upholstery tassels because I was thinking about making earrings out of them …and clearly, never did!

And Voila! I have my new favorite necklace.

Here’s what you’ll need…

If you have a long chain …or preferably, two long chains that you can hook to each other, then all you need to buy are the tassels {$3-4.99 each}…{or you can make your own out of leather!}
… but the craft chains are only {$3-4.99} each

& finally went on sale at Victoria’s Secret {now sold out} but I’m not sure I like the way they make my legs look.
