With its sunny, summery hue, this new tutorial is an invitation to take your time and enjoy the summer! Here we havereinterpreted the fan shape, which has fascinated us for many years, and which is used every season in different tutorials. This season, raffia brings that subtle touch of nature, of grass yellowed by the sun, of fields of wheat... a simple material that enhances the golden sparkle of beads and pendants. It's a very simple tutorial, but you'll need to take your time and enjoy this progressive and highly satisfying montage. Follow our step-by-step guide and watch our video. Beautiful creation!

This piece of jewellery is very simple to make, so start by cutting a 12cm piece of raffia braid. Caution: once cut, the braid is fragile because it can fray. You'll need to handle it carefully before sewing. Once sewn, it won't move! Now sew the 2 edges of the braid together. This will prevent it from fraying and also double the braid. This will give the braid a nice thicker effect. Fold the braid and place the seam in the centre and at the back so that it is hidden. Sew the braid to the closed ring. Make a knot at the end of the nylon thread. Stitch into the braid at the end of the braid, taking care to use both thicknesses. Then pass the needle through the closed ring. Press into the braid just next to the first seam and then press into the ring. You will see that the braid will naturally position itself at the edge of the ring. The fan will form as you sew. Tip: Tighten your seams so that the fringe is well positioned and doesn't move. With our 12cm measurement (6cm when folded in 2) you'll get a good size ratio and a well-proportioned fan. Once the braid is fully sewn, thread 3 beads and then prick the needle into the seam along the edge of the braid, working your way up towards the ring. The beads will then be placed on the seam of the braid to hide it. Continue in this way to cover the entire border, but be careful not to overtighten your thread so that the beads sit correctly. Don't try to get the beads perfectly aligned - placing them a little haphazardly will add a more organic feel to your creation. It will be more lively and reminiscent of ethnic jewellery. Once all the beads are in place and the seam is hidden, tie a knot and cut the thread. To finish, open the ring at the bottom of the earrings and slip on the pendant and fringe ring. Close the ring. Repeat the operation to make the other earring. Beautiful creation!
And voilà! A great achievement! |
