Instructions
Step 1
Think about what kind of image you are going to create. To do this, first decide with what clothes (dress, suit, blouse) are you going to wear your creation? You can navigate by color or style. For a dark bodycon dress, beads of cold or light shades are suitable. Design your jewelry depending on the cut.
Step 2
Take paper and draw the beads you want to create. Draw in color to see how the different shades work together. To be sure, next to the sketch of the jewelry, draw the entire image along with the clothes that you plan to wear with beads. Rate how they fit together.
Step 3
Pick up materials. To do this, visit your nearest hardware store. Carefully study the product that is presented there. You can consult with the seller how these or those beads react to interaction with water, sunlight (do the ribbons fade, do the paint chip off over time).
Step 4
Buy beads, pendants, ribbons - everything you need for work. They can be plastic, glass or metal. Choose beads according to your taste. If there is no such store near your home, you can buy beads online. It will be even cheaper this way.
Step 5
Create beautiful vintage beads. To do this, take the watch mechanism (watch case or dial) as a basis. You can easily find these details at any flea market, and, possibly, at home - dig carefully in your grandmother's chests. Choose beads and a string that match the color of the watch movement. Fold the lace three times, put on beads of different sizes and colors on each of the threads. Let the clockwork itself be the center of the jewelry being created.
Step 6
Try on the resulting beads, make sure that the beads are evenly distributed. And no color "shot". Adjust the length of the beads before attaching the clasp. Clasps and fasteners of all kinds and colors are also sold in specialized stores.
