Card Maker & Fashion Lover’s First Handmade Necklace

I was eyeing on a really cute vintage necklace during one of the craft fairs that I went not too ago, but I didn’t end up buying it. A few days later, bff found a really interesting store called I Found Gallery. They sell a wide collection of vintage jewellery findings like lockets, charms, and buttons! Apparently their collection ranges from the 1940s to 1980s! (Wow!)




It took us two and a half hours to find these cute charms and chains, but it was worth it!

Instead of buying them, we thought it would be fun to make our own one-of-a-kind necklaces…so we visited I Found Gallery! I was quite surprised that the store was so big! We spent a little over two and a half hours searching for charms and chains to go with them. At first, I didn't know where to start. I had to walk around the store a few times to see what I like (and it doesn’t help that I’m so picky!). Luckily, the jewellery findings were neatly displayed according to their shapes & designs. And there was a really nice sale associate that helped us!


I'm concentrating really hard!

It was nice to try out a different craft project that doesn't have to do with paper. I had so much fun making it with A! The hardest part was connecting the rings to smaller chains. Now, I appreciate jewellery makers so much more…


Planning out what to do. (Check out our NEW pliers!)

I still can't believe our necklaces are so pretty! I'm wearing mine right now and I can't wait to go out and show it off! :) Okay, I'll stop talking and post the photos! :) Enjoy!


A's- I love her Bulova watch face!

(I just realized that my heart locket is upside down, so you can't see the flower design on it)


Here's us wearing our one-of-a-kind vintage necklace :)
