This bright accessory will help brighten up your gray everyday life. Its fiery flashes will attract the attention of others and improve your mood.
We have to:
- side cutters (popularly called wire cutters), thin-nosed pliers, scissors, round-nose pliers,
- lavsan threads type 22M,
- bead needle,
- ruler,
- colorless transparent beads - 9 pieces,
- red transparent beads,
- translucent colorless long glass beads,
- transparent red beads 5 mm in diameter - 9 pieces,
- unpainted transparent beads 8 mm in diameter - 7 pieces, 5 mm - 60 pieces,
- 1 connecting double ring,
- 2 caps made of medium-hard metal,
- steel color chain 20 cm long,
- two pins with a loop at the end,
- a lock that closes with a screw.
Manufacturing method:
1. Take a pin, thread, needle, ruler, scissors, red beads, 5 mm colorless beads and assemble the double part of the necklace.
If necessary, clamp the loop on the pin using thin-nose pliers. This may be necessary to ensure that the loop is completely closed and the thread does not pass through the gap. We measure a lavsan thread twice as long, no less than the estimated size of the first part of the necklace, multiplied by two, plus 15 cm. In our case, the thread should be at least 65 cm. We fasten the thread to the pin loop.
We put three red beads on a thread, then alternate beads and seed beads 1:1. After a set of 30 beads, we stop. The length of the thread was approximately 20 cm.
2. Take our thread with beads, red beads and beads with a diameter of 8 mm.
We continue to collect the thread further, instead of small-sized beads we put on 8 mm beads. We do not place a bead in front of the first of them. Then we pass the thread through the 8 mm bead placed first. We get a ring of large beads.
3. Returning to small beads.
We collect a thread of beads and 5 mm beads in the amount of 30 pieces, ending with three red beads. We fix the thread on the pin.
4. Take thread, needle, scissors and a double connecting ring.
It is better to choose a double ring, since a regular single ring is less reliable, and the thread can slip through a gap that is not completely closed.
We measure the thread twice as long, approximately 50-60 cm.
We fix the thread on the connecting ring.
5.We take transparent colorless beads, red beads, glass beads, red beads.
We string three red beads onto a thread, then alternate red beads and bugles. We finish the thread with a red bead and a colorless bead, and then secure the thread.
Each strand of all parts of the necklace will always start with three red beads to ensure symmetry throughout the entire piece.
The photo shows, as an example, a sequence of 2 beads and 1 glass bead.
We repeat this for each of the nine threads. We vary the length of the threads from 33 to 38 cm to create a pleasant-looking cascading composition.
Sequences:
1 bugle bead: 1 bead – 3 strands
the rest on the 1st thread: 1 glass beads: 2 pieces of beads, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5, 1:6, 1:7
We get part of necklace number two.
6. Take out part of necklace number one and the cap.
We put the cap on the pin.
7. Using needle-nose pliers, bend the pin at a ninety-degree angle close to the base of the cap.
8. Using wire cutters, bite off the pin to the desired length.
Using thin-nose pliers, we squeeze the cap a little to make the product look more neat.
9. Using pliers, make a loop at the end of the pin.
10. Using needle nose pliers, open the loop on the pin to the side.
11. For the next step we use part of necklace No. 2 and a pin.
Using thin-nosed pliers, loosen the loop of the pin in the form of a hook.
We put the hook on the connecting ring and close the loop.
12. Take the cap and put it on the pin.
13. Using thin-nose pliers, bend the pin close to the cap at an angle of ninety degrees.
14. Use wire cutters to cut the pin to the required size.
15. Use round-nose pliers to form a loop on the pin
Then we squeeze the cap to give it the required shape.
16. Use thin-nose pliers to open the loop, bending it to the side.
17. Take a ruler, side cutters and a chain 19 cm long or a little more.Keep in mind that one link of the chain will be broken and the length will be reduced.
Using pliers, we divide it in half, 9.5 cm each.
18. Take part of necklace No. 1, chain and needle-nose pliers.
We thread the hook of the pin into the chain link and close it.
19. Take part of necklace No. 2 and repeat the procedure.
20. Take both parts of the necklace, a lock and thin-nose pliers.
Unclench the rings at the ends of the lock with thin-nose pliers.
21. We put the open rings of the lock on the last links of the chain and close them.
The necklace is ready.
All that remains is to put the second part of the necklace into the ring first. We pass the threads with beads and glass beads one at a time into the ring one after another and straighten them.
Making such a catchy necklace in itself creates a holiday in the soul, a surge of strength and positive emotions. You can wear it any day of the week when you want to celebrate. Its color, reminiscent of flashes in the sun, will help hold your gaze and give you a good mood.
