I’ve loved collecting shells on the beach ever since I was a kid. I usually display them in glass vases but this time I wanted to incorporate them into jewelry. This DIY necklace is really easy to make and it looks so pretty with summer dresses!
Supplies-
- Seashell
- Power drill with 1/16 inch ball dremel
- Gold nail polish
- Seed beads and larger gold beads
- Bead stringing wire (29 inches)
- Jump ring
 |
[Paint the shell with gold nail polish and let dry] |
 |
[Using a drill make a hole at the top of the shell] |
 |
[Tie the end of the bead stringing wire to the jump ring. Make sure the knot is tight] |
 |
[String the wire through the hole in the shell. The jump ring keeps the knot from pulling through. Add a gold bead. String 15 seed beads on and then add another gold bead] |
 |
[Repeat this beading process until you are abut 3 inches away from the end of the wire. Insert the wire through the hole in the top of the shell and knot it tightly on to the jump ring] |
