Buy the same sized beads for your necklace
When organizing your beads, it is important to group your smaller, medium, and larger beads into different pockets on your necklace. This will help save space and make it easier to find the right size for your neckline.
You can buy small, medium, and large glass bead sizes but keep in mind that the larger ones are usually double the size of the smaller ones. This is true when it comes to glass beads.
When buying a round tube of jewelry glue, make sure that it is at least a minimum of twice the diameter of the tube. A rule of thumb is that if you can fit two pieces into one storage unit then one can use two kinds of glue.
Choose the color of your cord or chain
When selecting your cord or chain, do not limit yourself to the length of the cord or chain. You can make a necklace that has multiple lengths of cord or chain!
Instead of having one long, thick cord or chain, have two separate cords or chains with identical length cords or chains. Or have three!
These techniques are all about choosing your color and creating extensions of it. When making this a habit, you will be very excited to make your next necklace!
The options are endless when it comes to creating necklaces with color. You can go for single-color or pair them up in different colors. Even if you do not make one every day, this is the same idea: Creating extensions of what you do and what you feel attachment to.
These techniques are all about choosing your color and creating extensions of it.
Decide how long you want your necklace to be
When making a multi-strand necklace, it is important to decide how long you want your necklace to be. Multi-strand necklaces have the potential to be long or short!
Some people prefer a short necklace while others like a long one. Both have their advantages and disadvantages. A short necklace feels more secure and looks better when finished with a nice-looking long neckline.
Other people like the look of a longer neckline on a necklace that is only half the length. A good rule of thumb is to make your minimum cost (number of strands) of necklace equal to your maximum cost (number of strands). So, if you are thinking about making a full length necklace, use two times the number of strands required!
When making a full size (generally thirty-two inches or sixty-four centimeters) ring or pendant, use four times the diameter required.
Cut the cord or chain to the desired length
Once your necklace is made, it is time to add the other pieces. You can find many ways to add the other pieces. Some ways to do this is to buy them together or mixed in where the first piece goes. Or mixed in with another piece.
You can exchange them or mix them as you please. Many times, a person will start with one type of necklace and add more because they like how it looks on them.
Nylon necklaces are very easy to make. All you do is cut the cord or chain down one end and then wrap it around yourself and around the base of the necklace. Add some stones if you want them and create your own design!
Another way to make a nylon necklace is by using several cheap synthetic necklaces and mixing them together.
String on your beads in the order you wish them to be on your finished piece
Choosing the right grade of string for your project is a key part of making a multi-strand necklace. Most people start with cheap nylon thread and add more bead strands as they go, but this is not a good choice if you want to add more length to your necklace or have some texture.
Many tips and tricks for making a successful necklace include adding in some heavy duty wire to join the beads, or mixing up the width of the beads. Both of these things add texture to your piece and make it look more expensive!
When adding in the thickness of the wire and thickness of the beaded pieces, remember that both must be high enough quality that they will not easily break.
Tie a knot at one end of your necklace
When your necklace is finished, make a knot at the other end to protect it. This will prevent other objects from being pulled on or off of your necklace.
This is important, as pulling on or off of a necklace can result in it slipping off. A slip may result in you losing your awareness of what piece is connected to what else.
Slips are something to watch out for, as they can be embarrassing and/or costly. If you have to replace a lost or stolen necklace, make sure to take care of the new one immediately!
Tieing a knot at the end of your neckletdge will prevent it from slipping off when used. This also protects the material from being scratched or damaged in any way by using it again.
Using another knot, begin to double knot down the line of beads until you reach the end
Now, begin to double knot down the line of beads until you reach the end. This method allows you to create several loops at once, making this necklace very versatile.
Each loop can be connected to the one before it or not, it does not matter! You can then start adding more strands as you wish!
How to make a multi strand necklace: To begin, take one end of your neckline strand and wrap it around a ball bearingator three times. Then, take another end of your neckline strand and wrap it around a second ball bearingator three times. Now, tie a nice tight couple of leashes between the two ends so they do not get cut off.
Finish by tying a final knot and cutting off any excess cord or chain
When you are finished making your necklace, it is time to let it dry. This process can take a few days, depending on the weather.
