CHAIN COLLAR! HOLLER!
Does anyone else watch Tosh.0 and remember when Tosh wore a collared shirt every episode for a season? No? Well I do. And this here necklace was inspired by that.
No, it wasn't. I was more inspired by Dannijo's awesome Hixon Bib that I very much so want. (I also want everything else they make. Just sayin'. In case you are in the mood to drop a few Benjamin's on moi, my birthday is in September.)
But, back to Tosh.0 - if you don't watch it, you should. It's flippin' hilarious.
That's all.

No, that's not all silly! I still have to show you the craft!
ANNNDDDD here it is!
Chain collar, people. Chain. Collar.
Supplies:
IGNORE THE SCISSORS. I had been crafting for a while when I started this little ditty. It was late. I think I was delirious. Point is, you do not need scissors for this project.
1. A light weight chain from Toho Shoji.
2. Metal loops from Toho Shoji.
3. Lobster claw hook from Toho Shoji.
4. Pliers from a local hardware store.
Step 1:
Use the pliers to cut the chain in half.
Step 2:
Use the pliers and the metal loops to attach both ends of each piece of chain. You should end up with two chain loops.
Step 3:
Use pliers and metal loops to attach the two chain loops you made in step 2.
Step 4:
About 1/3 of the way from the two chain connection, add a metal loop and the lobster clasp to one of the chain loops.
Step 5:
Add a metal loop to the other chain loop the same distance from the connection.
HOLLER FOR MY COLLAR!
Adjectives I could use to describe my new necklace:
Girly
Edgy
Trendy
Pretty
Shiny
Delicate
Chunky
I could go on.
POINT IS- this is a pretty versatile piece of metal. And I can't wait to wear it!
