Garlic bulbs are the perfect defense against a vampire's bite.

Supplies you’ll need:

  • 2' of red enamel teardrop chain
  • 3mm and 6mm jump rings
  • lobster clasp
  • 5 Mykonos garlic bulbs
  • eye pins
  • 5 mini spikes

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Create bead links out of all five garlic bulb beads. Slide the bulb onto an eye pin. Create a loop on the opposite end using round nose pliers or a looper tool. Use a small jump ring to attach a mini spike to the bottom loop.

See Tip: Wire Wrap a Bead Link

Step 2

Cut the chain to your desired length. My necklace is about 17" in length. Attach a bulb at the center of the chain. Every 3 bars attach the other bulbs onto the chain. Use wire cutters to trim off any teardrops that hang at the same spot as the garlic bulbs.

Step 3

Attach a larger jump ring at one end of the chain. Attach a jump ring and clasp at the opposite end.
