Hello there,Hope your day is going great.I have been a little lazy last month and so now I have decided to get off my couch and post some exciting diy stuff every 2 weeks!The necklace looks really nice, right? To see how to make one, read on.One of the good thing about making jewelry by ourselves is that we can match it to our dresses really well.Note-forgot to include flat nose pliers in the pictureTo start, decide the length of the chain, I used 16" and then cut the chain using a chain cutter.We need approx 1 cm length of the head pin to twist and make a loop, so after inserting your crystal bead into the head pin, cut off the extra length other than needed for making the loop.This may take one or two tries, don't worry :)Once you decide on the length of your head pins, cut all the head pins to the same length.Insert your crystal into the head pin, the loop will be on the narrow part of the crystal.Once you have the crystal in, bend the rest of the head pin to a 90 degree angle, this is needed to make a nice round centered loop. To bend the metal, you can use a pliers and your hands.Now, keep the end of your round nose pliers at the end of the head pin, and slowly twist it to form and nice circular loop. If the loop is not perpendicular, you can adjust it with a pliers or your hands.Now open a small jump ring using a pliers and use it to attach the beads to the chain. Repeat the same by attaching the beads in regular length intervals.You can either start attaching the beads from the center of the chain or measure how long you need the dangling beads before you start attaching them, but no worries, any changes can always be made later on.Final step will be to attach an end clasp, I have used a lobster clasp, attach it to one end of the chain using a jump ring (larger one). Attach another jump ring to the other end of the chain and you can add some more jump rings for adjustable length. If you have a cute spacer bead, you could attach it to the end for a great final finish. Now its time to show off your new pretty necklace!!Hope you have a wonderful day,
