Fresh fruit full of ripe colors will swing and sway while hanging on this dainty paperclip chain. This is the perfect summer necklace!

↓ Step-by-step
↓ Buy the supplies

Supplies you’ll need:

  • stainless steel waterproof gold PVD-plated paperclip finished chain
  • jump rings - 5mm waterproof gold PVD-plated stainless steel
  • fruit charms as many as you like
  • Czech glass fruit - I added these to the list; you could use them as filler in between the charms. You will need 24-gauge wire to make bead charms out of these.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Attach the charms to the chain starting from the middle out. The cherries have a loop on the back; sometimes it's slightly open. Just use pliers to close the loop so your jump ring stays on.
