For those of you who've
been trying to hunt down a nose chain, you probably know that they're difficult
to find. Even online, there isn't a big selection. The ones I've found at a
local Indian mall were pretty, but they weren't exactly what I was looking for.
I finally decided it would be easier to make my own.
For my nose chain, I decided to use a plain silver chain and a rosary beaded necklace. This came attached together as one necklace. This was especially convenient, because I wanted to get two different chain lengths.
What you need:
- Any kind of necklace chain (preferably lightweight)
- Nose ring (you can also make a lip chain if you have a
lip ring.)
- Earring Hook
- Metal loops (You might be able to find a couple on your
necklace)
- Jewelry pliers (I used regular pliers, but it's a lot
more difficult.)
How To Make It:
- Measure out the length you want your nose chain. Using
the pliers, separate the chain to your desired length.
- Take the piece you need, and attach both ends to
the bigger metal loops.
- Attach one end to your earring hook and the other end
to your nose ring. Make sure the ends are tightened enough where the
nose chain won't come apart.
Cost:
For me, it didn't cost any money. I
already had these supplies around the house. If you don't have these supplies,
it could cost up to $20.

ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteThis looks perfect on you! I always wanted to have a nose piercing only to wear it with a chain ^^
ReplyDeleteThank you! I've sen some nose chains that don't require a pierced nose even. Those are most common where I live.
DeleteOh my gosh that's so pretty! You're really rockin' it! :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! You could definitely make one for your new lip rings. :)
DeleteI've got an award for you on my blog!
ReplyDeleteLove the double chain by the way, very neat!
Great DIY! It is always a great idea to make things out of other already existing things, I love to do that.
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted to try a nose chain, I got my nose pierced when I was about 18 but my body rejected it, so I have never got to do it.
Most authentic nose chains clip on to the nose, so you're in luck!
