What you will need:

  1. Scissors
  2. Glue gun / glue
  3. Chain pieces from International Silks and Woolens on Beverly Blvd or the bead store around the corner (around $7)
  4. Denim jacket or vest from your closet or a thrift store like Wasteland on Melrose (around $20)
  5. 20 minutes

How to do it:

  2. Glue gun chains to either side of one breast pocket
  3. Glue chains across the back of the jacket
  4. If you are feeling adventours cut out the back panel as seen on this jean jacket from Forever 21
