DIY :: Dollarama Chunky Stone Necklace


Inspiration

I was at dollarama the other day and saw these plain wire necklaces and beautiful blue stones (they had multiple colors)  and immediately thought of a chunky necklace (at the cost of $2 bucks, even less if you consider you could make 2-3 necklaces out of all the material!!)


Lay your stones in the order you want them and squeeze the super glue across them

Put the wire necklace on top and make sure it is sitting in the glue.
I had the super glue hold up the wire to make sure it stuck to the stones
Now wait for it to dry! Just to be safe, I put a layer of mod-podge on top, since I already owned some to make sure it stays
