DIY neck jewelry. 9 master classes

DIY lace decoration

In order to make a lace decoration with your own hands, we will need:

• lace of any length as desired
• scissors
• lock for chain optional
• thread and needle

• Secure the thread at the end of the lace with a knot.
• Thread the first link of the chain.
• Using small stitches, attach the chain at the top of the lace fabric at regular intervals until you reach the opposite end.
• Now you can either close the two sides together using stitches, or use the jump rings to insert a chain lock.

Voila! A very simple and delicate lace decoration is ready!
In addition, you can make a similar decoration to this decoration, using lace not along the entire length of the chain.

By the way, such a decoration can be an excellent gift for your beloved sister or friend!

Based on materials from carryon-carryon.com

In order to make neck jewelry with your own hands, we will need:

• ribbon and many rings (first project)
• thick rope/bundle and fabric (second project)
• chain, beads and fishing line or thread (third project)
• chain and ropes (fourth project)
• T-shirt (fifth project)
• locks for chains
• connecting rings - 2 per project, when using locks
• scissors
• round pliers

Making your first neck decoration with your own hands is extremely simple:
all you need to do is insert ring after ring into the ribbon and secure it by threading the ribbon back through the adjacent ring.

Take the tape itself longer - it is always easier to trim off the excess than to start all over again. In addition, the ponytails will be used as ties.

If desired, you can use special flat crab clips, holding the ends of the tape on each side in them and, using connecting rings, insert the lock. In this case, the decoration will look more professional.

Another very simple neck decoration can be made in a matter of minutes:

• Take a tourniquet of the desired length.
• Make mugs from fabric - their number is completely arbitrary and depends on your preferences.
• Fold the circle in half and bend it - in this form, sew each one separately to the base of the decoration.
• Once the desired result is achieved, tighten the knot and cut the thread.
• Insert the harness from each side into the connector and attach a lock and chain (optional) using connecting rings.

Beaded necklace

You can use beads to make a beautiful neck decoration in the form of a braid. In combination with a long chain it looks very original!
So,

• Make 6 strips of beads: string them on a fishing line or thread.
• Connect them in pairs.
• Combine all the pieces together on one side using a connecting ring.
• Braid your hair.
• Connect the ends.
• Insert chain and lock.

Another stylish decoration made from cords, which can be made differently to suit your taste:
use thin ropes or thick strands, combine colors or weave one color.
Follow the instructions:

And finally, probably the simplest, but very stylish necklace made from a T-shirt!
You will definitely do it in an instant:

• Cut the front of the T-shirt at the collar to your desired length.
• Cut the resulting part into strips without touching the collar itself.
• Stretch each of them a little.
• If desired, fold the edges and glue them in place.

Beautiful handmade pendants are a task that anyone can handle. We will talk about unique jewelry that you can make yourself from practically available materials. They can easily be found at home or in the nearest store.

Pendant made of beads and beads

For beginners, it is better to practice on plastic or wooden beads. The latter, if desired, can be painted in any suitable color, if they have not yet been varnished. In the future - artificial or ornamental stones (for example, pearls, agate), solid wood.

It depends on the manufacturer how even each bead in the bag will be. Cheap Chinese ones often come across beads that are crooked, beveled or too narrow for a needle.

It is suitable for training and a single-color “fill”, creating a “casual” effect in the boho style, etc., but a multi-colored pattern may go astray. Therefore, patterns of two or more shades are best made from high-quality Czech, Japanese or similar beads.

Wire pendant

The most common in three variations: steel, golden and aged bronze. More expensive and more difficult to process are copper and semi- and precious metals. It is found in different thicknesses, ranging from approximately 0.02-0.04 mm.

For a multi-layer decoration with a large number of elements, it is better to have several wires of the same color of different thicknesses.

To work with the material, you will need tools that can be borrowed from men: pliers and round nose pliers, wire cutters. And also a ruler along with a sketch of the pendant.

Polymer clay pendant

It will appeal to everyone who once loved to sculpt and has not lost their skills. Those who have already forgotten or want to improve their skills will be saved and delighted by the huge number of instructions on how to make a pendant with your own hands on the Internet - on video or with photos. You can achieve very beautiful multi-layered or gradient transitions by correctly folding or crushing pieces of clay.

The uniqueness of the material lies in the fact that it can be used to mold incredibly realistic fruits, berries, desserts, flowers, any figures and even landmark buildings that will look great as beads for earrings, pendants, bracelets and brooches. To do this, a fastener is carefully stuck into the finished products, and then everything is baked in the oven according to the instructions.

You should carefully monitor the expiration date and observe the storage conditions; if the polymer clay is overused, it will become difficult to wrinkle and will crumble after heating.

Cold porcelain pendant

It is easy to prepare at home, so it is one of the cheapest materials for creativity. Unlike polymer clay, it is more plastic and homogeneous, hardens at room temperature within several days.

Cold porcelain is easily painted when cooked with food coloring or after hardening with acrylic paints. It produces very delicate and realistic flowers, especially if you use molds taken from real plants.

Epoxy resin pendant

It is often sold as two components: a resin and a hardener. They are mixed in strict proportions and poured into silicone and plastic molds or bases for pendants. After about 1-2 days, the coating finally hardens and becomes transparent.

Pin pendant

Ideal for brutal military-style accessories, but can look bright and unusual if decorated (with beads, bright yarn, etc.).

Pendant made of chains, braid, lace

They are useful for hanging a pendant around your neck by adjusting the desired length, and for decorating the pendant itself.

In addition to the listed materials, options and ideas for making a pendant can be very different; even old forks, shells, keys or pieces of glass ground by waves will do, if you put in the effort and imagination.

Note!

Cool

Almost every girl can boast of extensive “bins” with very necessary things - scattered earrings, cute beads, bright buttons, ribbons, laces, pieces of lace and unusual fabric. It’s a pity to throw away such “riches”, but it’s unclear where to use them. But you shouldn’t despair, because it’s easy to make unusual and, most importantly, exclusive jewelry from these little things.

Surely many have heard about handmade, but did not dare to do it for fear that their plan would not be successful. But creating original jewelry with your own hands is not as difficult and time-consuming as it might seem at first glance. Materials and simple tools for needlework can be found in sewing stores and supermarkets, or ordered online. And then an endless flight of imagination takes over and exciting creativity begins.

Stylish handmade jewelry always attracts genuine interest and attention to its owner. And such a gift to loved ones and friends will be doubly pleasant, since it was created with certain emotions.

This publication contains several step-by-step master classes on how to transform unclaimed items and simple accessories into a unique and effective neck accessory.

Asymmetrical necklace

To make an asymmetrical necklace inspired by the “Diorganic Leafy Waterfalls” necklace from the spring-summer 2014 collection of the Dior brand, you will need very little - plastic beads strung on a thread, reminiscent of pearls, a headband covered with fabric to match the beads, a thread with a needle, scissors, thick fabric of a suitable color and glue.

Creating a necklace does not require a lot of effort, but it will take a little time - since you need to carefully sew on each individual bead segment.

First of all, you need to measure and cut fragments of different lengths from the main thread. Then each of them needs to be folded so that one edge is shorter than the other and you can begin to attach them to the base.

First, long sections are sewn to the edge of the rim and gradually you need to move it in the middle, while the length of the bead threads decreases.

Long fragments are also basted from the opposite end of the rim, creating a beautiful asymmetrical line - long in front and short in back.

When the main work is finished and all the threads are attached, you need to make the final touch - sheathing the rim on the inside with thick fabric to cover all the errors and uneven seams.

Stylish bean necklace

To make a lasting impression with your appearance, you don’t have to wear designer clothes; you can just complete your look with an original necklace. And what could be more original than a decoration made from beans?

In order to make such a non-standard creation with your own hands, you should stock up on the following components:

• printed necklace template,
• beans,
• gold-colored beads,
• sheet of thin plastic 2-3 mm thick,
• neon colored nail polish,
• chain with fastening,
• stationery knife,
• Super glue,
• tweezers,
• hole punch for eyelets.

Before starting work, you should paint the beans with varnish and wait until they dry.

Then you need to print out the necklace template and attach a sheet of plastic to it.

You need to carefully glue bean after bean onto a transparent surface, having previously coated them with glue.

After this, fill the remaining spaces with beads. You need to form the necklace in parts - first assemble the circles, and then fill in the small details.

Let the filled blank dry for a couple of hours. When the semi-finished product is completely dry, it must be placed on a cutting board and carefully cut along the contour of the glued components. Finally, you need to drill holes along the edges of the necklace and insert the chain mount into them.

Cord necklace

A cord necklace seems so banal and familiar that you simply don’t want to buy another one for your collection. But even such a hackneyed model can be diversified by decorating the rope with sequins and beads to match.

For the alteration, you will need two types of twisted laces in black, one of them with gold thread, large sequins in the same palette, thread and needle to match, suitable beads, scissors, pliers, glue and clasps for the necklace.

First, you need to measure the length of the ropes to suit your size, while the pure black one should be longer than the other. Then you need to glue the ends for the fastener onto the longer cord.

Black sequins should be sewn to the strand interspersed with gold thread, stepping back a few centimeters from the edge.

On top of the sewn sequins, several more sequins, only in gold color, and stored beads are attached.

And the final touch - a lace with sequins and beads is carefully sewn to the main cord with fasteners.

Macrame necklace

A necklace made using the macrame technique looks interesting on your neck.

To make such a decoration, you will need 5 types of strands of different textures and colors, a chain, scissors, pliers, a tailor's tape measure, tape and clasps for a necklace.

First you need to measure and cut the desired length of the chain to suit you.

Fold the chain in half and place all the laces in a row perpendicularly on it.

Then make a zashmorg and secure the chain to the surface with tape and you can start weaving, as in the pictures below.

When all the laces are twisted, you should adjust the length by cutting off the excess.

Then attach the clasps to the chain.

Necklace with sparkles

A necklace with sparkles will create a festive mood and perfectly complement any look.

The materials you will need are glitter, matte decoupage glue, a tassel, a base for a necklace, pliers, clasps and a chain. Apply a drop of glue to the metal base, fill the entire surface with it and sprinkle with glitter. When the first layer has dried, you need to remove the remaining glitter from the workpiece and repeat the procedure with glue again, and so on until the glitter fills all the space in the base.

Attach the chain and clasps to the already dried semi-finished product.

Alternatively, you can use crushed glass instead of glitter.

To create such a necklace, pieces of glass, a hammer, a base pendant for a necklace, matte glue, nail polish, nail polish remover, cotton swabs or a disk will come to the rescue. Grind the glass with a hammer and repeat the same as with the glitter.

After the structure has dried, you can paint the glass in the color of your choice, and carefully remove the remaining varnish with liquid.

Manufacturing process:

• Apply veins to the leaf using a dull knife.
• Glue all the parts together.

Decoration in one minute

To make an accessory from scarves, you will need the scarf itself and a chain of beads. Attach the two ends of the scarf to the ends of the chain and throw it over your head.

Another option!

Just intercept the scarf with beads.

Handmade jewelry always looks original, stylish and attracts the attention of others. Many people do not take on such creativity due to a lack of imagination and certain skills, however, guided by the master classes presented below, it will be very easy to make a beautiful decoration at home yourself.

Stylish lace

Materials:

• leather or suede lace;
• accessories;

Cut the cord to the desired length and attach fittings to its edges.

Bottle pendant

Materials:

• wire or pin with a ring at the end;
• small bottle with stopper;
• beads, sparkles, keys;
• chain or cord;
• pliers, round nose pliers;
• Super glue.

At the initial stage, you need to secure the pin to the cork so that the bottle can be conveniently hung on the cord. To do this, coat the pin well with glue and stick it into the cork, as shown in the photo.

Then twist the free part of the pin into a ring using pliers, and you need to pay attention to the diameter of this ring - the chain on which the pendant will hang should easily pass through it. If the size of the pin does not allow making a ring with a sufficient diameter, then an additional ring of the required diameter can be made from wire and attached to the pin.

Next comes the fun part - choosing the contents for the bottle. Here your imagination can run wild to its heart's content, but we suggest putting something small or something memorable in there. An original key, dried flowers, beads, beads, sparkles and sequins will look good.

Repeat these steps until the workpiece is completely filled. Measure the desired length of the chain, attach a lock to it and put the pendant on it.

Broken glass pendant

Instead of glitter from the master class described above, you can use broken glass to fill the blank. This glass must first be crushed and then carefully glued to the base, as in the previous version. After drying, the glass can be painted in any desired color using nail polish.

Braided choker

Materials:

• elastomeric beading thread or wire from old headphones;
• scissors;
• scotch.

• pliers.

Cut the required length of tape. Attach the fittings to its ends. A similar ribbon can be tied around the neck as shown in the photo.

Choker with ring

Materials:

• ribbon;
• metal ring;
• glue;
• scissors.

Cut the ribbon into 2 halves. Glue the edges of the tape to the ring. Tie the choker around the neck in a knot. A similar decoration, but smaller in size, would make an excellent wrist bracelet.

Chanel style choker

• wire;
• large beads;
• fittings for fastening;
• Super glue;
• pliers.

Measure the length of the wire according to your neck size and bite off its edges so that it is convenient to put the choker on your neck. Place beads on the edges. Drop glue into the holes of the beads and insert fittings there for fastening.

By analogy with a choker, you can make the same original bracelet or ring.

Chain with braided pendant

Materials:

• 6 laces of different textures and shades;
• chain;
• meter or tape measure;
• scissors;
• pliers;
• chain clasp;
• masking tape.

At the initial stage, you should decide on the length of the product, and based on this, cut the desired size of the chain.

Then this piece must be folded in half on the table, and 6 different laces placed on top of it.

Tighten the chain around the laces as shown in the photo, then secure it with tape to the table and begin weaving.

After the pendant is ready, you should trim the ends of the laces.

And fasten the clasp on the chain.

• chain with clasp;
• cutting board;
• stationery knife;
• tweezers;
• hole puncher;
• Super glue.

First, the beans must be painted with nail polish and wait until they dry completely.

Attach the paper template on the reverse side to a sheet of transparent plastic.

In accordance with the diagram, glue the beans onto the plastic, spreading it well with glue.

First, it is better to collect large patterns from beans, and fill the gaps between them and small patterns with beads.

After the workpiece is completely glued, it needs to be given time to dry, and then using a stationery knife, cut the plastic strictly along the edge of the product. Using a hole punch, you need to make holes in the plastic at the extreme points of the necklace and insert the chain links into them.

Bead necklace

Materials:

• beads, beads or beads;
• hairband covered with fabric;
• needle and thread;
• a piece of fabric to match the beads;

To quickly create such jewelry, it is better to take ready-made beads, which are usually sold by the meter, and cut them into pieces of different lengths. Or assemble beads or beads yourself on a strong fishing line.

Fold the pieces of beads so that one end is shorter than the other and carefully sew them to the fabric of the hoop.

The maximum length of beads should be located at the edges of the hoop, and the shortest in the middle. In this case, the transition from the edges to the center should be made very smoothly.

When all the pieces of beads are secured, you need to sew or glue a piece of fabric to the inside of the choker, which will hide all the seams.
