The holidays are here and the party season is in full swing. Make the next festivity a black tie affair by combining a chain, rhinestones and a bow to make this chic DIY Jewelry project – a Rhinestone Bow Necklace!
Supplies:
• Chain Necklace
• 1 1/2 inch wide Satin Ribbon
• Rhinestones
• Aleene’s Jewel-it Glue
• Large Jump Ring
• Hot Glue
• Toothpick
Directions:
1. Heat up your hot glue gun.
2. Cut a length of your ribbon about 12 inches long. Fold one end over and using your hot glue, glue it in the center of the ribbon. Fold the other end over and glue it in the center on top of your other end.
3. Using your hot glue pinch the center of your folded ribbon and glue it.
4. Cut a short length of your ribbon to wrap around your bow about 3 inches. Glue one end on to the back center of your bow. Wrap it around and glue the other end on top of your first end.
4 Squeeze a small amount of your Aleene’s Jewel-it glue onto a small piece of aluminum foil. Using your toothpick, add small amounts of your Jewel-it glue to your ribbon.
5. Set your rhinestones onto your glue on the ribbon. Fill up the center of your bow with rhinestones and let dry.
6. Add jump ring to chain if necessary (The chain necklace I bought was open in the center so I added a large jump ring to close the chain.)
7. Attach the bow to the chain. I used hot glue to glue my bow to the center jump rings on my chain. If you prefer you can sew it on with a needle and thread.
Tip: To simplify this DIY use an already made bow tie instead of making your own bow. Or mix it up with a pearl necklace instead of chain. Have fun with this and make it your own.
This is a fun necklace to add some sparkle and style to your usual holiday attire. So this year, take the traditional black tie up a notch with rhinestones!
we heartsters – Are you wearing lots of rhinestones and sparkly things this holiday season?
This is such a cute idea. Reminds me of Kate Spade, but for a whole lot less!
Thanks @mandabear! It’s always great when you can make something cute and save money too! :)

So adorable! This would also make a great trimming on a wrapped present–a gift on top of a gift.
As a fan of all things wrapping I love that idea @amity! How fabulous would it be to receive a present wrapped up with this Rhinestone Bow?!
That is such and awesome idea @amity! A gift on top of a gift! I love that idea! Thanks!

Very cute! Classy and fun. It’d look cute on a headband… or anything else, really!
Thanks Marilyn@Lipgloss+Spandex! A headband would be adorable!

Love this DIY @trinkets-in-bloom! A bow is the perfect accessory during the holidays , right?! And I can not say enough about how much I adore the glitter selection and application – so pretty! I want to put glitter bows on EVERYTHING now.
Thanks @TynaWerner! I know what you mean. I’m such a sucker for bows and anything sparkly! It’s hard not to add glitter and sparkles to everything this time of year! (Or any other time of year, for that matter!)

Super cute. Thanks for the tutorial!
This is indeed a very slick DIY project. It would be perfect for Christmas and New Year’s Eve. I agree that it reminds me of Kate Spade. I have to give this project a try. Awesome!!
