I took each charm and attached it to a jump ring. The kilt pin with charm hangers as well as the octopus charm I got for 50 cents each I believe at Joann's. The other charms are from etsy. With the handcuff and angel wing charms, I wanted one to hang lower than the other, so I attached one's jump ring to the other's.
I decided to have some multilength chains hanging down behind the octopus so it looked more jumbled. I cut three different lengths of chain, and attached the ends to a jump ring, which was connected to the kilt pin.
I used bigger chain for the actual chain part. The beauty of this necklace is that it requires no clasp; the pin IS the clasp. Open the pin, slide on/off the chain, close the pin. Easy peasy lemon squeezy.
I love this wooden mini dress form. It's so shabby chic, which usually isn't me, but I fell in love with it. It was a couple of dollars, scored on my recent thrifting spree.
