Funky jewelry ideas to make- handmade necklace in lariat pattern
Summary: Coming up with plenty of awesome jewelry ideas to make needs time and patience. So did this handmade necklace lariat pattern.
Lately, I have been obsessed with handmade necklace; ordinary necklaces, such as, beaded ones, chain linked ones, and even hemp braided ones, were all tried out and experienced; so I dug out some more funky jewelry ideas to make in etsy, pinterest and craftgawker. And this time, the showcased project idea is a very good one.
Materials and tools:
1.5mm black alum wire
16mm ivory glass pearl
Oval iron links
Jump rings
Round nose plier
Flat nose plier
Wire cutter
Instructions:
Step 1: make wire wrapped pearl pendant
1st, cut a piece of aluminum wire, thread it through the pearl and bend the long end 180 degrees;
2nd, wrap the long end snugly around the pearl 3 times behind the short end;
3rd, make a loop with the short end and wrap the rest of the long end around the loop several times;
4th, cut off extra ends and tuck them with flat nose plier.
Step 2: connect links and attach pendant
1st, attach the oval links together with jump rings;
2nd, cut a length of silvery chain suitable for your neck size;
3rd, attach the oval links to one end of the chain;
4th, attach the pearl pendant to the other end of chain.
The final work is like this:
