Combine them by tying together an attractive knot at each end of the chain. You can then either use jewelry findings to create a way to fasten, or my preference is to braid the ends together and wrap the ends over so I just slip it over my head. I like to put a little twist in the necklace (just spin it a little) before I permanently fasten it,mor if you use findings you can decide each time you wear it whether to twist it or wear it loose. The more colorful, the prettier it looks and you will have strangers stop you to ask where you got it. Takes less than an hur and probably 4 yards or so from your stash!

I'm going to make another one with some black sari yarn and gold colored sari ribbon. Thanks for the comments ladies! I wore mine all day the other day, and I absolutely just love it.

I'm going to try this as a bracelet with the bits of Kaleidoscope I haven't been able to bring myself to discard. This is wonderful!
