How to Make a Silk Thread Necklace

There were some waste Silk threads taken from old Silk Sarees at home and I got some ideas to use that threads to make some crafts like silk thread bangles,earrings, pendant and necklace. First, I made bangles, it came out awesome.

Then I bought some more colors of silk threads and other materials like stone lace, beads and all to make make a Silk thread necklace. For the first time I tried an easy design and it came out beautiful. In this instructable I am sharing the step by step methods involved in making the Silk Thread Necklace.

Step 1: Materials Needed

• Silk thread
• Stone chain or Stone lace
• Stone ball /any available beads
• Jump rings
• Lobster clasp
• Fabric glue
• Scissors

• Needle to sew

Note:

• Other than this you can use any pendants.
• Can use Jump rings and lobster clasp from old unused chains.

Step 2: Start Cutting Threads

• First with a thread or something, take measurement of neck
• Take silk thread of your favourite color (here I have taken Red) and roll it around a scale, measure out to required length and use scissors to cut your silk line.
• You may need 45 or 50 layers of thread in each line.
• Use glue to stick intial ends of thread and let it dry.

Step 3:

• Join the glued three ends and stick it in a scale with a tape, by this when u knot it won't slip way.
• Start braiding the thread as shown in the image.
• Keep braiding till the length you need and glue both ends and cut the extras.

Step 4:

• Stick a stone at the center and Stick a stone lace along the sides using fabric glue.
• Stitch the stone lace along the sides of bride at backside, so that the stone won't come off.
• Join Jump rings and lobster clasp at the ends of the braid.

Note:

• Can use Extension chains.
• You can make any designs as per your thoughts.

Step 5: Finally....

Here is the finished picture of Silk thread necklace. You can wear it on any occasion, which will give you an elegant look while dressing with traditional wears.

Beautiful! I will have to try something like this. I am allergic to a lot of metals so I love finding new types of jewelry made out of materials other than metal!
