Gold-plated plug necklace

Well, meine lieblinge, I have had my eyes on a special necklace for a while, the charm for the necklace is the kind of gold-plated plugs you normaly have for musical/computer/television purposes on different type of cables. Dj plug you can call it I guess (Just google it if you want pictures).

And since I am extremly cheap thrifty and creative, I thought "Maybe I could do that!" and I asked my boyfriend, who got a huge bunch of computer parts laying around, if he got one of these and he did! But I could not figure out how I could make a hole on the plug and we do not exactly have the tools for it, so I made something closer to a other picture I had seen somewhere.

















Step one complete.
Now I needed a chain or a rope, and it turned out I had a old black necklace left from some old jewelry that got lost in my drawer. Score! So I tucked both ends into the hole and it was a snug fit. Perfect. Maybe I do not have to glue it into place, so I can change the rope when I want? I will try to wear it at school and see how it fares.

This is how it ended up looking. Neat, huh? (Feel free too click the images for a bigger view)

I think it is a bit too long for my taste, so I am trying to figure out a way to shoten it up a bit. I am thinking maybe a small knot in the neck :) But I really rather like it.
