Engelachtige sieraden

Deze prachtige hanger is gemaakt van 0.8mm verzilverd metaaldraad. De kralen zijn op het draad geregen en de sluiting is een kapittelslot.

1.

Turn a piece of 0.8mm silver-plated metal wire to form a loop.

2.

Thread the beads onto the wire as shown.

3.

Use round nose pliers to form a loop and twist the wire around the pin/wire.

4.

Continue downwards, twisting the wire around the top half of the bead, covering the top half of the bead.

5.

Cut off the excess wire and turn to form a decorative loop.

6.

Thread the pendant and the beads onto a piece of beading wire.

7.

Finish the necklace with a bead tip and a crimp bead. Squeeze the crimp bead flat.

9.

Close the bead tip around the crimp bead.

12.

Quickly twist the ends slightly past each other, whilst they scrape against each other…

13.

… and back again. When the two ends are exactly opposite each other, stop twisting and the round jump ring is closed successfully.

14.

Attach a lobster claw clasp prior to closing the round jump ring at the other end of the necklace.

Variation.

Only a few beads on the wire: the beads are held in place with crimp beads. Squeeze the crimp bead flat with special pliers for crimp beads.

16.

The crimp bead is squeezed flat in a bow shape.

17.

With the outer tips of the pliers, gather the bow to make a round bead.

Vredesduiven

Kleine glaskralen zijn geregen op een stukken sieradendraad die samenkomen in een eindkap. Bevestig een kraal en de vredesduif aan de eindkap met een kettelstift en een ovale ring.

1.

Cut two pieces of beading wire each measuring approx. 80cm and assemble them in a crimp bead. Squeeze the crimp bead flat. Thread the beads onto the wires. If you mix the beads on the wires you will only need one set of beads but otherwise two sets. The necklaces must be long enough that they – when assembled – can be pulled over your head (approx. 60-65cm).

2.

Assemble the two ends in the same way as at the start. Glue all the ends together in a large end cap with Super Attak instant glue.

3.

Connect an eye pin onto the loop on the end cap with an oval jump ring.

4.

Put a bead onto the pin. Nip some of the pin off, leaving approx. 1cm and twist this to form a loop.

5.

Attach the peace dove to the loop on the pin with an oval jump ring.

Earrings: Put an eye pin onto the earwire. Put a bead onto the pin and nip off some of the pin, leaving approx. 1cm and twist this to form a loop. Assemble the peace dove onto the loop with an oval jump ring.

A bracelet: Thread each colour onto each piece of 0.5mm elastic beading cord. Each is approx. 69cm long. Tie four or five tight knots.
