Fitbit Pendant

What to do when your pants don't have pockets and you don't want to clip your fitness tracker to your shirt collar?

I've seen some nice pendants to hold them, but having an older one makes it more difficult to find one that will fit.

So I decided to make one of my own.

Materials:
  • Filigree medallion
  • Necklace, cord, chain, etc.
  • Jump ring
  • Needle-nosed pliers
Metal Filigree Medallion
I put my Fitbit in the center of the medallion and used the pliers to bend the metal on either side of the Fitbit. Then fold the sides of the medallion so they wrap around the Fitbit, overlapping slightly in the back.

The Fitbit is tapered slightly so that I made sure the top of the pendant was larger than the bottom. Both ends are open and the Fitbit can be slipped into the top and will not fall out of the lower end. I bent the bottom of the medallion just a bit to help keep the Fitbit in place.

Add a jump ring to the top of the medallion and put it on the necklace or cord you have selected. And you're done!
