DIY Dilemma: My Bangles don't fit (part 2)

This is not a problem for all ladies but I've ran into quite a few ladies that have this problem. "My bangles don't fit" Bangles can be absolutely adorable when stacked up one arm but they can also be a nightmare to put on if you have "chunky" hands like me. Monday I tackled this DIY Dilemma while guest posting on Required 2 be Inspired, keeping the bangles as no-stress arm candy.  

 Today I am turning the non-fitting bangles into 2 other accessories for those who don't even want to fool with small bangles.  Big Bold Earrings 

  and  an even bolder Necklace  

  both are on the Easy Level  Tutorial #1- Bangle earrings materials: four banglestwo fishhook earring findings2 large jump ringsjewelry pliers step 1: combine two bangles with the jump ring (tighten with pliers)  

step 2: attach the fishhook finding to the top hoop  

step 3: complete your other earring the same way and wear them.    Tutorial #2- Bangle necklace materials:7 bangles (i used different textures and colors but you can use the same for a clean look)gold wiregold chainnecklace findingjewelry pliers step 1: cut a 2 inch strip of gold wirestep 2: wrap the gold wire to attach two bangles(wrap it loose to so the bangles will move) 

 step 3: attach other bangles the same way in a V shape 

Step 4: attach the bottom bangle last (i have no reason why i did this)  

Step 5: cut three chain pieces the same length and attach them to the top banglesStep 6: attach the necklace finding to one chain and the other chain ends to that one chainStep 7: wear it and make a bold statement
