Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Brit & Co. Braided Necklace is Urban Chic

— August 10, 2012 — Fashion
The Brit & Co. braided necklace is sure to make a bold statement; this urban chic piece is easy to put together and best of all it's affordable. Instead of spending ample amounts of money on designer jewelry, it can be easily imitated, which is ideal for the fashionista who is on a tight budget.

The materials needed to make this includes a chain, shoelaces, ribbon, string, wire, super glue and a jewelry clasp. All that is required is to make three bundles of chains, and tie them up at the top. You then attach everything to a main chain, and braid the bundles together to form the design.

The nice thing about this project is that it is versatile and customizable -- the colors can be played around with to match with one's wardrobe. It would also make for a great gift idea.
