Beaded Jewelry Project

Beaded Jewelry Project<br /><br />This red, white, and blue beaded necklace is a great accent to any bright outfit. This jewelry piece can even be worn to celebrate America. Follow the directions below to make your own colorful, multi strand necklace. Materials Needed for this Beaded Jewelry Project<br /><br />1. Beading monofilament or thread<br /><br />The first step in this beaded jewelry project is to determine how long you want your necklace to be. Then, cut the beading thread or filament to four times that length. Begin at one end by tying on one side of the necklace clasp. Use the craft glue to secure the knot completely.<br /><br />Run your beading needle through one red seed bead. Then, thread about five inches of the blue seed beads after it. Another red bead goes next and then one of the large blue and white round beads.<br /><br />The necklace pattern repeats from here. String fifteen blue seed beads, one red, and then another large accent bead. Do this two more times to incorporate all of the large blue and white round beads into the jewelry project.<br /><br />After the third large bead, put one red seed bead, five inches of the blue seed beads to match the other end, one more red bead, and then loop your thread through the other side of the necklace clasp. Use another dab of the craft glue to secure the knot on this side.<br /><br />This is one strand of your beaded multi strand necklace.<br /><br />Now, turn the bead jewelry project around and thread the next bunch of beads on your needle. You will have one red and then five inches of blue seed beads. This second strand should be just like the first strand. When you get to the large blue and white bead, stick the needle through this bead. On the other side of the large bead, string one red, fifteen blue, and one more red before your needle goes through the next accent bead. Complete the rest of this red, white, and blue necklace strand.<br /><br />Go back across the necklace, using the same patterns of beads, two more times. You will have a lovely multi strand necklace in bright, patriotic colors.<br /><br />Be sure to dab the clear drying craft glue on each of the knots at the end. This will help to secure your project more completely.<br /><br />Published by Melanie L. Marten<br /><br />Melanie Marten is self taught and self employed.
