You can use old necklaces of equal length for this project as well.
A chain headwrap looks sophisticated and expensive, and it can also serve the dual purpose as a headpiece for a costume. This allows you to make a headwrap that will fit your head in a style that you prefer. Making a chain headwrap requires almost no skills and can be put together in about twenty minutes. Loose chain can be found at craft stores or on jewelry supply websites.
Instructions
1. Lay out your pieces of chain so they are parallel to each other, with their ends matching. Open your jump rings. You may need to use pliers to open the rings, but most jump rings are made of a fairly soft metal and you will probably be able to do so by hand.
2. Use an open jump ring to loop through one end of each of the chains. Close the jump ring. Do the same with the other open jump ring at the other end of both chains.
3. Measure around your head and decide where you want the headband to rest. Subtract the length of your chain plus 1 inch from that number, and then multiply that number by two. This number will indicate how much elastic cord you need. Cut a piece of elastic cord at that length using the scissors.
4. Pull one end of the elastic cord through both jump rings, and then match up the cut ends of the elastic cord. Wrap both ends around the tip of your finger, forming a loop, and then pull the ends of the cord through the loop, forming a knot. Use the scissors to trim any excess, and you have a completed headwrap.
