I’ve had some amazing beads and wanted to make a cute everyday necklace out of them for a while now! So here’s what I came up with – a cute chain necklace!
Materials:
-chain
-metallic beads
-drop beads
–jewelry wire
-crimp beads
-lobster clasp
-jumprings
First, take a piece of the jewelry wire and thread a crimp bead and then slide the wire at one end of your chain
Now bring the wire back forming a loop that will connect the chain with the wire. Make the loop as small as possible (meaning you have to pull the wire) but be carefull not to pull it too tight, the loop has to be visible.
With your flat-nose pliers press the crimp bead in place to secure and cut any excess wire.
Start threading the beads creating this pattern.
When you are satisfied with the pattern, close the other end of the wire and connect it with another piece of chain as you did the first time (using crimp beads)
Measure it on you to determine how long you want it. Attach a lobster clasp and a jumpring and you’re done!
How cute is my new chain necklace?
gorgeous!
