Today, fashion allows you to combine outfits and jewelry of various directions in one wardrobe - from strict classics to a bright ethnic style. Making homemade beads is a great opportunity to create amazingly beautiful products that will add bright accents to your look. However, remember not only about the design, but also about the reliability of your creation. The most important stage of work on jewelry is fastening the clasp on the beads.
It is necessary
- - beads;
- - nylon thread;
- - needle;
- - two round-toothed teeth;
- - clamp for the knot;
- - connecting ring;
- - carabiner lock;
- - glue "Moment" or "Super glue".
Instructions
Step 1
Buy a special metal bead clasp from a jewelry store. For example, it can consist of a snap hook, a knot clip and a small connecting ring. Pick up accessories that match the main style and color of the beads.
Step 2
Pay particular attention to the quality of the connecting ring. The strength of this small metal part will directly determine the reliability of the fastener as a whole. As a rule, when assembling beads, rings with a diameter of 5-10 mm are used; thickness can vary from 0, 2 mm to 0, 9. Consult with the seller - he will select the connection of the corresponding article to the carabiner lock.
Step 3
String the beads onto a double nylon thread (fishing line) using a thick needle. Thread the remaining “tail” of the fishing line through the hole on the edge of the knot clamp. Pull the hardware closer to the last bead in the row and make a couple of sturdy knots.
Step 4
Cut off the excess line, leaving a free end about 3mm long. Gently set it on fire with a lighter or a match, so that the melted synthetics solidify in the form of a ball. For more reliable fixation of the product, apply 1-2 drops of Moment or Super glue to the assembly.
Step 5
Connect the metal ring and clamp. To do this, you must first open the free ends of the fittings, and then press them securely. Place the ring with the joint on top; press one end with round nose pliers and pull the other end towards you with the other pliers. The part should unfold along the perpendicular axis! To close the ring, squeeze it with round nose pliers.
Step 6
So, at one end of the beads, you installed a clip and a ring. Now, on the opposite side of the decoration, place a carabiner lock. It is also equipped with a knot clamp. Fix it to the tip of the working line according to the pattern of steps # 3-4.
Step 7
The bead clasp is ready. To put the jewelry around your neck, you need to open the carabiner, insert it into the connecting ring and close it again.
