Neck jewelry is something that women all over the world wear. Beads, necklaces and bracelets are probably the most ancient jewelry. No matter how old a woman is, these accessories always complement an outfit and create a unique, individual look.

There is no such thing as too many neck decorations; each of them should correspond to the outfit, time and place. They are also varied in shape and color and made from different materials.

Nowadays it is very easy and simple to buy neck jewelry. But if you want others to pay attention not to the high cost of the jewelry, but to its originality, then it is better to make the jewelry yourself.

Surely many have heard about “handmade”, but did not dare to do it for fear that their plan would not be successful.

But creating with your own hands, as this expression translates, original jewelry is not as difficult and time-consuming as it might seem at first glance. Every housewife has materials for needlework: balls of bright thread, beads, satin ribbons, buttons, pieces of lace, strips of fabric and other, at first glance, “unnecessary” items.

I offer a master class on making jewelry with your own hands

Beads from threads

To make it I needed:

Lock.

Preparation method:

Knit strips from colored threads

I really like to use roses made from paper rolled into flagella in my creativity. Now I used knitted strips of thread to make these roses

I secured each flower with threads and strung them on a thin fishing line, alternating with beads

So in a simple way the result was original beads

I have accumulated a lot of scraps, satin ribbons and beads - they can be used to make an original set - a necklace and a bracelet.

First, from scraps of brocade, I sewed several large beads filled with padding polyester

Then, alternating them with small plastic beads, I strung them on a fishing line. Satin ribbons I braided white, gold and red colors and sewed them to the outer beads. The length of the ribbons must be chosen so that the finished necklace can be threaded freely through the head, or you can tie the ribbons in a bow at the back

In the same way I made a bracelet for my hand.

Exclusive handmade jewelry always looks very original and stylish

I hope this gift to friends and family will be doubly pleasant, because it was created with love and given from the heart!

Publications on the topic:

To make it I needed: - knitting threads; - knitting needles; - non-woven household napkins; - a box of chocolates. Way.

Paper rosette for March 8th The holiday is approaching - International Women's Day on March 8th! And I want to do something with my own hands, something.

Master Class. DIY willow. Hello, dear colleagues, today I would like to present to your attention a master class on manufacturing.

Every teacher dreams of order and calm reigning in the group. It takes very little to make this dream come true. You just need to borrow.

I invite everyone to our workshop. Today we will give a gift to all those we love. 1. Take wire and corrugated paper, red.

It is very important that parents are active participants in all activities in the group. Our parents are exactly like that. They support any of ours.

Felted beads have become fashionable. But making them yourself is not so easy: finding wool suitable colors, felt the balls of the required size... And felt beads will not harmonize with any clothing. We offer Alternative option: beads made from regular sewing threads.

A pin, in fact, is a piece of rigid wire with a diameter of up to 1 mm and a length of up to 4 cm, the end of which is shaped like a loop or a stud. It is usually used to create costume jewelry and is sold in specialized stores for handicraft lovers. From 1 to 3 beads are strung on a pin, and the straight end is bent into a loop. To make beads, the pins are connected with loops to each other. A pin ending in a flat head or ball is used to create pendants.

MATERIALS

PVA glue
5 spools of sewing thread in the desired range
cosmetic cotton pads
beads of different sizes, shapes and colors

TOOLS

round pliers
side cutters (nippers)
the needle is thick
thin needle

Step 1

Divide the cotton pad in half lengthwise. Place PVA glue in the center of one half of the disk and form it into a tight ball. Wrap it in the other half of the cotton pad, adding a little glue. Form an even ball again - its diameter should be 1-1.5 cm.

Step 2

Wrap the cotton ball tightly and carefully with thread until the cotton base is completely hidden under its layers. To secure the thread to the finished bead, leave approximately 30 cm of thread. Using a thin sewing needle Sew the top layer of threads in different directions on the surface of the ball.

Step 3

Pierce the finished bead through with a thick needle and insert a pin with a ring into the hole. After stringing the bead, about 7 mm of the rod should remain free; cut off the excess using side cutters. Bend the tip of the pin into a ring using pliers.

Collect beads on a string... It would seem that what could be simpler? However, it is not. As in any business, there are little tricks here. Not everyone knows what thread to use, how to choose and attach the lock correctly. When I first started collecting jewelry 5 years ago, I tried to find good master class on this topic, but I didn't succeed. I had to learn by trial and error. But now, in my opinion, I can teach you this too, dear friends.

I hope this simple master class will be useful to many.

I deliberately do not dwell on design issues. Knowing the basics of assembly, you can always come up with a design yourself.

So let's begin.

Materials and tools.

It's easy to guess that we need beads, thread and a lock. The beads can be anything you like. Threads and locks will be discussed below. The only tools you need are small scissors and a lighter or matches. You will also need a piece of fishing line 0.3-0.5 mm thick and 10-20 cm long (I use jewelry cable, but not every home has it, fishing line is quite suitable). And no needles!

Choosing threads

The thread should

Be strong
Do not stretch under load
Do not become shaggy when rubbing
Melt when heated

Only polyester meets these conditions. We reject cotton, silk, nylon (nylon) immediately.

Thread thickness - the thicker the better. The thicker the thread, the better the beads will lie. But don't overdo it double The thread should fit into the hole of the bead without effort. If the threads you have are not thick enough, fold them several times.

Choose a castle.

There are locks for beads different types: carabiners, screw-in, magnetic, toggle.

It is better if the carabiners are sold already with rings (No. 1, 2, 3 in the photo). Their sizes vary. How larger beads, the larger the castle should be.

Carabiner No. 4 - without a ring, which means you will also need a ring. Important: Never use split rings. The ring should be double, like for keys, but, of course, small.

Lock No. 5 is also suitable, although it is not a carabiner. It is especially good if there is not enough length, and it is convenient to fasten it.

Now everything is ready, let's start assembling.

Description of work

Let's prepare the thread. We measure the length of the future beads, add 10-15 cm and multiply by 2. So for beads 45 cm long, the length of the thread will be 110-120 cm. Fold the thread in half, tie a knot at the end so that the beads do not jump off when stringing. If the thread is not thick enough, use double or even triple thread.

We take a piece of fishing line, fold it in half and insert it into the loop in the middle of our thread (at the far end from the knot) and begin stringing beads, threading both ends of the fishing line into the hole at once. Like this:
