I’ve been on a total metallic kick lately. I found these large wooden beads and decided to make them look more modern by adding a few coats of paint and string them in a circular shape. Wood beads gold , bronze , silver , blue ) & paintbrushSilver chain (23 inches long) Lobster clasp Jump rings Jewelry pliers
[Place the bead on the end of a pencil. This makes it easier to paint all around. Put the pencil (with the bead on top) in a cup to dry]
[Paint 2 beads with each of the colors. They may need a few coats]
[String 4 beads on the chain. Center them in the middle of the chain]
[String the chain through the first bead]
[Pull the chain to tighten]
[String 2 more beads on the chain]
[String the remaining 2 beads on the other side of the chain]
[Using the jewelry pliers attach the jump rings and then the lobster clasp]
