Material for work:
- metallized fishing line diameter 0.35 mm;
- thin-nose pliers and wire cutters;
- pins;
- chain;
- crimps (fixator);
- natural citrine;
- metal balls with gold plating.
Place citrine, metal balls and pins on the work surface. Insert a pin into each hole.
Then we cut the pins with wire cutters to the desired size. Leave about 15 mm for further work. Very short and very long tails are difficult to twist.
And we begin to tighten the pins with thin-nose pliers.
We wound up the required number of elements.
We take the chain and cut it in the middle with wire cutters, then cut off a small piece of metallized fishing line, about 20 cm.
To make the necklace easier to assemble, you need to secure one side of the chain with fishing line. We thread the fishing line with two crimps into the last link of the chain.
We thread the tail of the fishing line back into the crimps.
And clamp it with pliers.
Then we put a metal ball on the fishing line and hide the remaining tail.
Let's start assembling the necklace. We string two citrines onto a fishing line, then one metal ball.
We collect until the end.
Once everything is assembled, we put on a metal ball and two crimps to secure the second side of the necklace.
We thread the fishing line into the last link of the chain.
We pull the tail of the fishing line back into the crimps and the metal ball.
We hold the chain with one hand and the tail of the fishing line with the other and tighten, but not tightly, otherwise the necklace will be very stiff.
We clamp the crimps with pliers.
And cut off the remaining piece of fishing line.
The necklace is ready.
