Old to Bold: Chic DIY 1920s Hair Jewelry

written by Laura

1920’s headpieces are all the rage these days! The Great Gatsby premiere (last Friday) reminded us how gorgeous and feminine headbands, headwraps, barrettes and chain hair jewelry can make us look. I came up with a simple, glamorous headpiece that goes well with (almost!) everything and here’s how I did it in 15 minutes:

  1. Find two old silver chain necklaces (gold looks great too!). It’s a lot easier if one is longer than the other.
  2. One of my necklaces had a central charm, so I used it to connect a second strand of chain. These charms usually have two rings holding them to the chain, so you just have to open them up with small jewelry tongs, insert the second chain’s ring and close them up again.
  3. I wanted the second chain to hang as a semicircle, so I attached a strand of the second chain to the end of my first chain (which was shorter).
  4. Try it on directly and see how much of the second chain you need to remove so that it fits tightly around your head (not so tight though, you don’t want awful chain marks on your forehead!)
  5. Remove any excess from the second chain by opening the last ring with your tongs, throwing away what’s left, and closing it back.

I hope you enjoyed this project and if you have any questions feel free to email me at nostalgiosity@gmail.com, comment right here, tweet @nostalgiosity or leave a comment on my wall at www.facebook.com/nostalgiosity.

Besos,

Los accesorios para el cabello inspirados en los años 20s están muy MUY de moda por estos días! El estreno de The Great Gatsby nos recordó a todas lo hermosas y femeninas que nos hacen ver las diademas, cintillos, barettes, y cadenas para el cabello. Se me ocurrió una idea muy simple pero glamurosa que combina con (casi!) todo y aquí va cómo la hice en menos de 15 minutos:

  1. Encuentra dos cadenas plateadas viejas que ya tengas (dorado también funciona!). Si puedes, busca que sean de diferentes largos.
  2. Una de mis cadenas tenía un dije central, entonces utilicé los anillos que tenía a los lados para unirla con la segunda cadena. Basta con abrir el aro con pinzas, introducir uno de los aros de la segunda cadena, y cerrar con las mismas pinzas.
  3. Quería que la segunda cadena colgara un poco, entonces aproveché que una era más corta que la otra para unir un tramo más largo de la segunda cadena al último aro de la primera (creando un semicírculo)
  4. Mídetelo y revisa cuándo debes/quieres eliminar de la segunda cadena para que se fije perfecto en el tamaño de tu cabeza. No lo dejes muy apretado porque no queremos marcas de cadena en la frente!
  5. Quita el exceso abriendo aros con las pinzas y cerrándolos.

Espero que hayan disfrutado este proyecto y que si tienen alguna pregunta me escriban a nostalgiosity@gmail.com, comenten debajo, envíen un tweet a @nostalgiosity o escriban en mi muro de FB www.facebook.com/nostalgiosity.

Besos,
