Cell Phone Jewelry Dangles
Confess – how many times have you found yourself whipping up a pair of earrings before you head out the door? You have a certain outfit on or an interesting design comes to you, and you just can’t wait. That’s what happened to me one day when I realized my cell phone was not properly dressed.

Seriously, jewelry for our everyday peripheral equipment is hotter than ever, and what cyborg-jewelry maker wants to be out of the jewelry loop? And, it‘s so, so easy to make jewelry for your cell phone now, especially with these cool Cell Phone Straps from Beadalon.

IMPORTANT NOTE: For this project, I have flipped the strap, attaching the jump ring end to my phone and using the loop part of the strap to attach the charm. i did this because the phone I attached it to didn't have a large enough hole to fit the strap through. Obviously, adjust this as you see fit depending on the type of phone you have.

I decided to go for something fun and whimsical for my first stab at making a cell phone charm. To make one you’ll need the following:

1 Cell Phone Strap
1 – 6mm pink crystal bead
1 – crystal unicorn pendant
6 inches of 22 gauge gold-filled wire
Round-nosed pliers
2 – pair of flat-nosed pliers
Wire cutters
