For the first time, the fashion for jewelry was introduced by Coco Chanel. In her opinion, there should be a lot of jewelry in clothes, but using precious metals and stones in this capacity is a bad taste. Therefore, instead of natural materials, plastic, crystal, rhinestones, sparkles, beads and other less expensive materials were used. Fashion for jewelry is back, and making jewelry out of it at home is a sheer pleasure.
It is necessary
- Several plastic bottles;
- Acrylic paints;
- Large beads, seed beads;
- Thin line for beading.
Instructions
Step 1
Slice the bottles lengthwise to form several strips. They are now curling into a circle, so you can cut them into smaller rectangles. After that, iron it through cheesecloth at a low temperature so that the plastic straightens but does not melt.
Step 2
Cut the plastic into small (about 3 cm side or about 6 cm in diameter) geometric shapes: squares, triangles, circles, ellipses, rhombuses. Drill two holes at the top of each, left and right.
Step 3
Spread out the parts outdoors (for example, on the balcony) on the newspaper. Paint them with acrylics. If you wish, you can apply one thin layer to make the paint transparent, or two or more thick layers to create a matte surface. You can cover some figures with a small pattern. Make sure that the holes remain open when applying paint. Dry and paint over the backs of the figures.
Step 4
After drying, take the fishing line and string the first figurine, leaving a small tail for the fastener. After going through one hole in the figure, pick up several beads or beads in random order and go through the second hole. Pick up a few more beads and one more figurine. So dial the desired length, up to the beads or bracelet.
Step 5
Attach the clasp to the ends of the line. Hide the ends in the holes of the beads. Plastic jewelry can be worn.
