Beading - Making Necklaces With Jump Rings And Head Pins


A couple of days ago I posted a blog on how to make earrings. Making necklaces like these follows basically the same concept as making earrings.


First you need to make a loop on the one side of the earring. You can make this loop using round nose pliers. Then you need to cut of the head of the pin to look like the below image.


You then put some pretty beads on and make another hoop on the other side of the pin. So you will basically have a pin with two hoops on the ends and beads in the middle.


You need to make +- 20 of these. The amount you make, will vary, depending on your preference on how long you want the necklace to be. Once you have made a couple of them, you use jump rings to attach them.


And you keep going until all of them are attached to each other to make a pretty necklace.


Once you’ve got the hang of the above necklace, you can try something like this….


Enjoy making yourself some unique necklaces.
