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.
Supplies:
Wood beads
Metallic paint (gold, bronze, silver, blue) & paintbrush
Silver 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] |

From start to finish, a wonderful idea! And it's simple enough even for a beginner to do with your great pictures. I love the way you mixed the colors; it gives the necklace an almost assymetrical vibe to it.
