Jewellery Making Ideas about a Big Chunky Necklace with Threads and Chains
Summary: The jewellery making ideas intend to inspire you, helping you get a clear image of what your personalized chunky necklace will look like. It is really useful to guide for you to finish this necklace.
This jewellery making idea actually comes from an online jewellery making magazine; as I really love the hot pink-orange-crash combination of braiding & chunky chain, I did my own one. However, this is a slightly different big chunky necklace.
Materials and tools:
1mm pink nylon thread
1mm aqua nylon thread
1mm yellow nylon thread
Lobster clasp
Round nose pliers
Flat nose pliers
Scissors
Instructions:
Step 1: Make 4-strand-braiding
1st, cut 16 pieces of threads, 8 for pin, 8 for aqua and all measure 85cm;
2nd, tie an overhand knot on one end of the threads and group them by colors;
3rd, categorize 4 into one strand, each color gets 2 strands and arrange the 4 strands into the order as picture shows;
4th, braid 4-strand-braiding by bringing rightmost strand to center firstly and leftmost one secondly;
5th, continue braiding until the length reaches 30cm or so;
Step 2: Attach braiding to chunky chain
1st, pick a piece of yellow thread that measures about 70cm;
2nd, fasten a piece of wire (or a needle if you have) to one end of thread, and then sew the braiding to the chain.
Step 3: Finish the necklace
Attach lobster clasp and jump ring to both ends of the chain.
The final look is like:
Tada! The tutorial of chunky necklace is done. This jewellery making idea makes a beautiful statement piece. You could also change the colors to create a unisex necklace. You will love it!
