How to Make a Wish Necklace

Wish necklaces are a fashionable way of wearing your dreams on your sleeve---or in this case, on your neck. These simple necklaces are elegant yet understated, and can be worn dressed up or dressed down. Perfect as a gift for others or even yourself, a fully customizable wish necklace encourages the wearer to make a wish and believe that it will come true.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Silk thread
• Small charm
• Scissors
• Spring ring necklace closure set

1. Cut a strand of the silk thread to 18 to 20 inches long. Keep in mind when choosing the thread that wish necklaces are worn daily, so choose a color of thread that will coordinate nicely with a typical daily wardrobe.

2. Slide your chosen small charm onto the strand of silk thread. Make sure that the small charm is something meaningful and representative of making a wish.

3. Attach the spring ring necklace closure by tying the two closure pieces to the two ends of the silk thread strand.

4. Place the finished wish necklace around your neck, close your eyes and make a wish.

5. Wear the wish necklace faithfully every day in honor of the wish you made. Over time the silk thread will wear down and eventually break---when that happens, it is said that your wish will come true.

Tips & Warnings

• Wish necklaces make great gifts. If you opt to give a wish necklace as a gift, make sure to include a note explaining the meaning and usage of a wish necklace. After your wish necklace wears off, you can put the charm onto a chain necklace if you desire.
