  • 20 gauge wire (I used silver) or headpins

    E 6000 glue

    24 1" googly eyes

    2 small silver jump rings

    6" silver chain (optional)

    lobster clasp

    toothpick

    round nose pliers

    wire cutters

    heavy flat object (like books)

1. Start by cutting 12 3" lengths of 20 gauge wire.


2. Use toothpick to spread E 6000 glue over back of googly eye. (figure 1)


3. Stick wire flat directly into glue (figure 2). Lay another googly eye over top and press, sandwiching the two together. Lay a heavy flat object like a phone book over top to add pressure while drying. Let dry.


4. Once dry, use round nose pliers to make small loops, linking each eye together until all are completely linked (figure 3).


5. Add jump rings to the last loops and add lobster clasp for closure. Add chain if you need the necklace longer to fit your neck. This project was submitted by SwellDesigner

Lol...looks creepy if you know they are supposed to be eyes, but i looks VERY funky (in a good way!) if you don't. Really good idea!

A friend and I have a competition to see who can google eye stuff the most.

I LOVE this idea. What a creative use of this product. I think I will follow this concept to make myself a bracelet!
