I will give you the instructions to carry out this technique. You can adapt it to make a necklace or a bracelet. For that, adjust the length of your thread.
For a bracelet, cut 3 threads of about 50cm (make sure it's wide enough as you won't be able to make a connection).
For a necklace, cut 3 threads of about 1m for a choker.
To start, cut 3 threads (adjust the length to your project). Thread the 3 threads into the clasp and then make 2 tight knots at the edge of the clasp. Cut the excess threads to 1mm from the knot and then gently burn the threads to secure the knot. The threads will melt, allowing you to glue them onto the knot. String the beads of your choice and in the desired order onto one of the threads. Mix shapes, sizes, and materials, don't try to be regular, vary the beads randomly to create a beautiful harmonious effect. Stringing the beads onto the thread can be long, the thread may fray, don't hesitate to trim the thread from time to time. Now start the braid with the 3 threads. At desired points, incorporate a bead into the braiding. It's simple, slide the bead when the beading thread is facing outward from the braid, bring the bead to the edge of the braid, then continue braiding. To finish, place the extension chain or a clasp and make a double knot. Cut the excess and burn the thread. Your jewelry is finished! Beautiful creation! |
