Washer necklaces

Washer necklaces
We've been having a lot of fun this past year making these adorable washer necklaces. They are pretty inexpensive to make and you can make them to match any wardrobe. Supplies:WashersScrapbook paperE6000Diamond Glaze or Crystal Effects or similar productHole punch or Exacto KnifeLeather necklaceNail File or Emory Board If you have a hole punch the same size as your washer you can punch out the paper. Next, take a nail file and gently file the edges to smooth it out and if you have a smaller file (these can be found at scrapbook stores or craft stores) carefully file out the center hole too. Your washers should now look like this. The next step is to apply the Diamond Glaze. When the glaze dries, your new "pendants" are ready to be added to a nice leather necklace for a unique fashion accessory.

Denim bracelet - tutorial One of my most popular posts last year was my denim bracelets, and I got a lot of requests for a tutorial. So I have decided to kick off the new year by keeping my promise. What you need to make these bracelets are as follows: A worn out pair of jeansScissorsStrong thread (I used fishing line for my first one)NeedleBeadsPush buttons (I’m using a KAM press with buttons that I god from E-bay.) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.Push the needle trough the bracelet from the front. 9. 10. The second one that I’ll show you is a little more time-consuming, but just as easy to make. 1 You will need a longer thread for this, but because it’s very easy to get I tangled up I would recommend changing when you’re half way finished. 2 I’m using some tube shaped beads for this and thread one to the string before I push the needle trough the bracelet to secure it. 3 Move the needle a little to the side before pushing it back up, attaching a new bead and pushing it back down.

bird nest necklace} I have been seeing a lot of bird nest jewelry around lately. They are beautiful and I love the trend so I thought I would try making my own. These turned out to be really easy to make and require just a few simple supplies. This necklace would make a lovely Mother's day gift, which just happens to be coming up this weekend! What you'll need: - Jewelry wire (I prefer using a 24 gage because it is easier to manipulate but the 20 gage can work well too with the help of some round nose pliers) - pearls or glass beads - necklace chain - jump ring and a clasp Select the beads you want, string them onto your wire and arrange them as you'd like. then simply wrap the wire around the beads wrap some wire in the space between each bead (I like the look of three loops but you could just do one or two if you prefer) this is what the back looked like. now attach a jump ring and a clasp to the end of a necklace chain and this is what you end up with :) I love how each one is so different

10 плетёных цепочек с бисером в технике макраме Приветствую всех! Обещала продолжение - получите. (для тех, кто не видел первую часть, про ажурные цепочки без бусинок - она ). Для работы, как всегда, нужен собственно шнур (я взяла сутаж толщиной 1,8 мм), бисер №5 или 6, либо мелкие бусины; ножницы, англ.булавки, подушка для плетения, зажигалка или клей. Итак, приступаем. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. затем на левую (или правую, в общем-то, без разницы) рабочую нить надеваем бусинку, потом закрываем ромб. 8. 9. 10. Надеваем на основу (нить в центре) бусинку; а розовыми нитями плетём по два узла фриволите на чёрных основах. Потом меняем рабочие нити и нити основы местами(прием "хамелеон"), и повторяем все сначала. Вот и всё. Как всегда, жду отзывов, предложений и - если будет таковая - конструктивной критики. А, ещё можете писать, про что стоит сделать следующий МК. Удачи!

Earcuff TUTORIAL!!! (on BIG demand) - JEWELRY AND TRINKETS I started making ear cuffs half a week ago, and already LOTS of people were asking me to make a tutorial.I made two.One on the basic cuff, just to get the hang of it, and one more expanded, where you can use your own imagination. What you need: The 18g wire can also be 20g 1. Basic Ear Cuff Cut from the 18g wire a piece of 2,5" Bend the right end 3/4" 180° upwards. Do the same with the left end, downwards. Make a loop to the right with the round nose pliers out of the upper end. Do the same with the lower end, to the left, in opposite direction. Bend the side parts backwards around round nose pliers or a pencil. Ready! 2. Cut from the 18g wire a longer piece f.e. 5" Bend the right end 180° upwards. Bend the left part 180° downwards, but see that the middle part is app. 1" Finish the upper end by making curls and loops with the round nose pliers. Bend the lower part 90° downwards in the middle. From this point I turned the piece around. Bend the wire further to hold the bead in it's place. Done!

Quel fil choisir pour faire ses bijoux? | Art et Perles 8 types de fils que j’utilise régulièrement pour fabriquer des bijoux fantaisie! Il existe une multitude de fils pour enfiler ou travailler les perles. Mais lequel choisir? Fil câblé ou fil de pêche?Fil de soie ou fil polyester? Il est donc important de choisir son fil à bijoux avec soin. Voici donc Les 8 types de fils que j’utilise pour faire des bijoux Le fil câblé J’aime ce fil car il est très résistant, existe dans de nombreux coloris, permet un enfilage de perles très rapide. Mais, je le trouve un peu rigide et donc je ne l’utilise pas pour des colliers longs. Sa taille est définie en diamètre (0.010 jusque 0.024 un des plus épais). Noter que ce fil se trouve en gris neutre, couleurs diverses, argent, or, plaqué argent et plaqué or. Le fil de pêche J’ aime car ce fil est résistant. On termine un bijoux avec le fil de pêche par un noeud carré ou par une perle cache- noeud. Vous pourrez voir certains colliers finis avec des perles à écraser. Le fil polyester, soie ou coton Le fil serpentine

Deluxe Duplex Bracelet 1 Step 13: Now we need to make the "end" wire component. This component allows us to connect our duplex bracelet to a single clasp instead of a two way clasp. If you have a two way clasp, you can eliminate this component and modify your bracelet. Begin making the end component by cutting a 1 1/2 inch segment of 18 gauge wire, preferably 1/2 hard. Make a loop in one end of this wire segment. Step 14: Straighten this wire segment by pulling through the jaws of your step jaw pliers Step 15: Now position two metal pegs in your jig and place the initial loop over the lower, right most peg as shown at right. Step 16: Now wrap the wire around peg 8 as shown at right Step 17: Wrap the wire around peg 9 as shown below left. Step 18: Remove the wire from the jig and cut the excess wire. Step 21: Repeat steps 19 and 20 to connect all five duplex wire components. Step 22: Now we need to connect the 2:1 end link to the duplex wire components on either end.

How to Use the Bail Forming Pliers Tutorials There are many tools you can use to coil wire and make consistent sized loops. The bail forming pliers is yet another option which can help you make connectors, clasps, ear wires and jump rings. I bought the large sized bail forming pliers because I already had other tools like the 3 step loop forming pliers and wanted to avoid duplication. It makes two different sizes of rings - 9 mm and 7 mm. The inspiration for this tutorial are these beautiful cubic zirconia fans from Art Bead's cubic zirconia collection. These are not flat at all and presented a design challenge! Making Connections First cut about 4 1/2 " of 20 G wire. Now wrap one end completely around one cylinder - I've rotated the pliers anticlockwise to show the wire ends going in opposite directions. Take the wire end on the right and wrap it around the other cylinder and down the other side. Now this is the part which I suspect frustrates people. First reinsert one of the cylinders. Do the same for the other loop.
