DIY Chunky chain Headband

On the 15 unexpected ways to use chunky chains post there way a big absent in my opinion, a chunky chain headband and that was exactly what I wanted to make. A bold addition to any look along with my favorite studded headband. This is a lunch break diy. It took only 10 minutes to finish it!

Avete visto collane e scarpe decorate con catene giganti ma forse ancora non avete provato ad usare le catene per creare un fermacapelli che si fa notare. Se avete una catena ad anelli grandi, un cerchietto e 10 minuti liberi potrete realizzare questo fermacapelli punk.

You'll need:

•  a chunky chain (at the hardware store or haberdashery) or a chunky chain necklace 
• a headband covered with fabric
• needle and thread

Cover the headband with chain. Leave the portion that goes behind hears uncovered for comfort. Put the chain over the headband and stitch it on top. Stitch where the chain links overlap to hide the stitches. Go through each link two or three times if the chain is heavy. That's it!

Occorrente:

• fermacapelli in stoffa
• catena ad anelli grandi (in ferramenta o in merceria) o collana 
• ago e filo

Coprite il cerchietto con la catena. Abbiate cura di lasciare scoperta la porzione di cerchietto che va dietro le orecchie.  Tenete ferma la catena sul cerchietto con la mano sinistra e bloccatela con ago e filo. Nascondete i punti tra un anello della catena e l'altro. Passate il filo più volte su ogni anello se la catena è particolarmentte pesante. Avete già finito!

How to DIY your own chunky chain necklace

Stament necklaces are here to stay but without fancy decoration, the new must have is a simple big chunky chain necklace . Luckly we only have to look around the house to make this necklace. Look for a chain belt or a bag handle made of chain. These accessories are made of bigger chains compared to ordinary necklaces and they are still light weighted. Cut a piece of chain of 40 to 46 cms and add a clasp and your chunky chain necklace is done and you're ready to go. More chunky chain inspiration below.

Gioielli in primo piano anche per la prossima stagione, questa volta senza decorazioni eccessive. Il must have di primavera è una collier formato da una semplice catenella però dalle dimensioni extralarge. Basterà guardare nell'armadio per realizzarla. Cercate una cinta o il manico di una borsa in catena metallica. Le catene utilizzate per questi accessori sono più grandi di quelle utilizzate normalmente per le collane ma ugualmente leggere. Tagliatene un pezzo lungo dai 40 ai 46 cm e aggiungete un moschettone per chiuderla. Voilà la vostra nuova collana è pronta.
