Supplies for a letter charm necklace:
Shop around for different types of font charms to spell out your name. You can do an Internet search for “letter charms” and you’ll find a lot of different styles. I love the vintage ones! I looked on Etsy and found a lot of sellers.
Chain to make your charms. You can buy a new chain or upcycle old jewelry to give your necklace more a story.

Set the chain out in a line and auditioned the placement of your charms.
Leave room between each letter.
