DIY: Button Brooch Necklace a la Anne Hathaway
Although I wasn’t crazy about her dress, the second I saw Anne Hathaway’s Oscar necklace I thought to myself… CLEARLY SHE READS MY BLOG!!!! lol Her Tiffany & Co necklace reminded me of a petite version of the brooch necklace I crafted a few weeks ago (here). I see you Anne! In honor of Anne’s Oscar win and what has become a little “DIY an Oscar winners necklace” tradition around here, I present to you a DIYable version of Anne’s Oscar night stunner…
Materials: Buttons, Brooch Closures, Safety Pins, Chain, Lobster Claw Closure
Now I have to admit I cheated a little #womp I got lucky and stumbled upon these mini brooches, but don’t worry if you can find any because they’re easy to create. Compile a collection of your favorite rhinestone buttons. Earrings are also a good alternative too. You can pic up basic brooch (or bar) pins at your local craft store (here). They cone in a variety of sizes. Simply remove the shank from the back of your button and use a little E6000 to apply the pin. Allow some time to dry and now you have your mini brooches!
DIY TIP: If the clasp of your pin is not secure and you’re worried about your brooch opening, apply a little glue to your closure to prevent it from opening.
Link your pieces together using the safety pins
Link ‘em up!
Attach the chain to your linked pieces. Use a jump ring, if necessary.
Attache the lobster claw as the closure to your necklace
Really pretty piece.

Anne Hathaway’s necklace (especially the back view) was my favorite part of her ensemble on Oscars night. I didn’t hate her pale pink Prada gown but I definitely appreciated her jewels more.
