This detailed master class will teach you how to make beautiful beaded bracelets with your own hands.
The article shows the basic methods of usingpendants, connecting rings, fastening chains, end pieces, using a jewelry cable, fishing lines with the effect of rubber bands to create beautiful beaded bracelets with your own hands. Let's get started! Option 1. We use finished ceramic beads and accessories of golden color. We make rings for pendants from handy materials. We need: - Large single-color bright beads - Ringlets - Elastic band - Pendants in the form of a steering wheel (or any others) - Pins or memorial wires (or ready-made rings) - Round nose pliers - Cutters - Small beads made of artificial or natural stone
What to do if there are no rings, but they are very necessary? Make them from the pins of the desired color or from a special memorial wire. Twist the edge of a pin or wire into a double ring.
We cut off excess metal. The ring looks like a ring for keys. We make several rings, one for each suspension.
We put the pendants on the rings, like the keys.
We put all the materials along to make sure that they will look beautiful together.
We begin to put on the fishing line beads and pendants in the following sequence: A large bead, a small bead, a pendant, a small bead, a large bead, etc.
Continue the set until you get the right length of the bracelet. Beads should be alternated in such a way that after joining the edges symmetry and consistency are preserved!
We connect and tie the edges of the fishing line in a strong tight knot. The elastic should be slightly stretched, otherwise the bracelet will be "weak".
After making sure that the knot does not untie, we hide the bundle in a large bead. To do this, just slightly shift all the beads. The first bracelet is ready.
Option 2. For the second bracelet I use beads of polymer clay. Beads are made in the technique of "Watercolor", each bead is unique. Bronze color fittings. For work you will need: - Round nose pliers - Large and small beads of contrasting colors - Pendants - starfish - Elastic band - Rings for hangers
We prepare the suspension - we put rings in them. On the fishing line, we collect beads in the following order: Large bead, small bead, pendant, small bead and again large.
Repeat until the desired length is selected.
We connect the edges of the elastic band, lightly stretch it and tie a strong knot.
As in the first variant, we "hide" the bundle and the edges of the rubber in a large bead.
And the second bracelet is ready!
Option 3. It will be required: - Multicolored beads with the effect of "ceramics" - Pendants - turtles - Rings for pendants - A stone crumb "consonant" with large beads of shades. - Round nose pliers or pliers - Elastic band
We hang the pendants on the rings.
We collect on the line a large bead, a piece of stone, a pendant, a stone and again a bead.
Repeat until the desired length is typed.
We connect the edges of the line and tie them.
We hide the bundle, as in the first two variants. In just a few minutes, the third bracelet is ready.
Option 4. Assemble the beads on the wire and chain. Again I use "polymer" handmade beads. You will need: - Beads - Decorative rings - Simple connecting rings for pendants - Suitable pendants - I have a shell and starfish - Cable ends - Cable - Caps for beads - Lock - togle or carbine - Several contrasting small beads (I use natural beads " cat's eye ") - Chain
Cut the cable to the desired length. We make a "sketch" of how the suspension will be located.
We spread beads, caps, rings and pendants in the order that suits you.
At the end of the cable fix the clip-end.
We put on all beads and pendants in the planned sequence. Leave a small piece of cable to fix the second end. The beads should be close to each other tightly enough.
We fix the second end.
We put in the right sequencethe remaining elements for fastening the lock. If you have enough beads, and you have typed the necessary length, you can attach the lock on the rings to the workpiece that has already been assembled. I did not have enough to need a length of 10 cm, and I "select" them using a chain.
By ringing, connect the end piece on the cable and the chain.
The lock-carabiner is also a ring with a chain. We repeat on both sides.
And this is what happened:
