Introduction: Tutorial: Shell Pendant Necklaces
Necklace, I love necklace! I would never feel enough with my necklace!
As there is a variety of shells, I’ve tried to make a shell pendant necklace by use of different kind of shells.
Where the shells come from? Ah, ha! Go to the seashore and you will get a lot. Or you can get it on the store if it is inconvenient.
This is what I did and can be used as a reference.
Step 1: Materials
Let’s get the list of materials and tools before making.
Materials:
Sea Shell Beads
Trumpet Shell Beads
Iron Oval Cross Chains
Iron Jump Rings
Platinum Brass Lobster Claw Clasps
Headpins
Glass Beads
Tools:
Flat Nose Pliers
Round Nose Pliers
Side Cutting Pliers
Noweverything is ready.
Step 2:
We choose a shell and wear a hole in with an iron jump ring. Then pick up an iron oval cross chain and pass the shell from the iron jump ring.
Step 3:
Select several shell beads and repeat the first move. Next, we need to find a proper place and make the shell fixed on the chain.
Step 4:
Put what’s going on aside, it is time to treat the glass beads.
Let the glass bead wear a headpin from the hole and then bend the part of the excess into a circle. One headpin, one glass bead. However, we need a special one with three glass beads in one headpin.
Step 5:
Repeat the second move and the glass beads can be fixed on the chain.
The necklace is basically finished.
Step 6:
Don’t forget the special glass beads pendant! It is a shell pendant necklace, remember? It would be great.
Cut out some spare cross chains and make one side connected with the special one glass-beads. The other side then can be connected with the necklace chain.
That’s over!
Step 7:
You can round two circles around the neck as the main picture shows, or just one circle. It's up to you.
Anyway, hoping it would bring you a good mood!
