Based in New York, Laura posts weekly video blogs with topics ranging from seasonal lookbooks, outfit ideas, and stylish DIY tutorials. Follow her simple “DIY Body Chain” step-by-step tutorial, to get the ball rolling and make a sweet body chain of your own!

Materials needed: Pliers, Chain (the length will vary depending on your size!), Jump Rings, Scissors/Wire Cutters, Charm with a circle attachment on both ends.
Take a ball of yarn and measure out the length to the desired length. Wrap it around your body exactly how you envision the final product to be.
Next, using the pliers and chain material, measure the chain against the yarn and cut to specific length.
Now, you’ll need to create a loop and secure in place using the jump rings. Use the pliers to open up the end of the jump ring, attach to the necklace chain, and then clamp it together.
Depending on your design, you might need to repeat this step a few times to create the draped layers of chain for your final product.
You’re all set! Set up your photo booth, because it’s selfie time!

The fit and fab Laura shows her viewers several ways to wear it, from a crop top and funky set of disco pants to a leather jacket layered over a little black dress. For literally the easiest #OOTD ever, tie a bandeau top paired with denim shorts and your shiny new body chain. Chic, sophisticated and totally on-trend, a body chain is the ultimate sexy accessory this summer!
