This simple necklace is made using a large quantity of beads and upto 50 eyepins that are used to form the 'chain' as demonstrated in our video using the rosary loop technique.
Materials
You will need the following materials to make a beaded chain necklace (use as many bead groups or beads as you need for length, add groups or reduce the amount of groups.
- Wire Cutting Pliers , Round Nosed Pliers.
- 50 eye-pins (one for each bead you use its up to you)
- Upto 50 beads depending on the length and look you want
Instructions
As with all projects arrange the beads in the pattern you require before assembling.
Choose a starting bead and place it onto an eye-pin.
Use the cutting pliers to cut the eye-pin so that only a small amount sticks above the bead. Using the width of your thumb is a good length.
Clamp the pliers immediately above the bead and bend the head pin so that it makes a 90 degree angle to the post.
Re-position the pliers to the end of the head pin, and roll back to create a rosary loop. (Video Instructions)
Before you close the loop hook it through the loop of another eye-pin.
Repeat this pattern for all beads around the necklace.
To connect the final bead and finish the necklace, just connect to the loop of the eye-pin to the original bead's eye-pin.
