With the advent of handmade jewelry, many unusual materials were used to create jewelry. Beads, necklaces, bracelets and earrings are now made not only from beads, beads and natural stones. Craftsmen include leather and chains, ribbons, cabochons and wooden elements, fabric in their products.

- - accessories for beads.
Instructions
Step 1
Beads can be made from regular pom-poms. To do this, take two rectangular pieces of cardboard, wrap threads around them, pass one thread between the cardboard boxes, and then cut the threads so that you get a pompom. Having made several pom-poms, you can collect beads from them.
Step 2
If the threads are thick and look like thin waxed laces, wind them in a couple of dozen turns around the stretched arms of your assistant or, for example, around a saucepan. Carefully make an incision on the resulting skein. The result should be equal lengths of threads. Take some large wood or eraser beads. You can also use pendants. String beads or pendants onto the cut strands. You can string the beads on separate threads or leave gaps between them by tying knots on the threads. Then take the wide bead clasps and clamp them at the ends of the cut strands. You can also braid the threads.
Step 3
You can also make openwork knitted beads. To make a crochet necklace, take a crochet hook and tie small openwork squares or circles. They should resemble small napkins. Make five to seven parts in harmony with each other, starch them and connect with a pair of threads. Beads that match the color can be strung on the connecting threads, with the help of them you can also distinguish between the knitted elements of the beads. Beads can be knitted not from individual elements, but in the form of a lace collar.
Step 4
Another option for knitted beads involves the presence of base beads. These should be large beads of any material. Such beads must be crocheted with threads and then collected on a thread or fishing line. By tying beads, you can make a tight knit or an openwork pattern. Beads or sequins can be sewn onto tightly tied beads.
Step 5
If your threads are woolen and have a rather loose structure, you can bead beads. For the same purpose, you can take felting threads and a special hook. Take dark, loose woolen threads, mix them so that the wool fibers are located in different directions, then wind up in a small ball. Stick into this ball and take out the felting needle, keeping it strictly vertical. Twist the ball, dumping the wool until the desired density and shape is formed. Such beads are pierced with a needle and not collected in the fishing line. They can be decorated with beads, sequins or ribbons. Also, these beads can be combined with ordinary glass, wood or others.
