Heishi and eye beads surfer necklace for women

This creation is adaptable according to your desires in various projects: bracelets, anklets, necklace ... Take your measurements and add between 5 and 8cm to allow for the fasteners. Cut your wire with a wire cutter. Insert a crush bead on one end, go around a wire guard and go back through the crush bead with your wire before sealing your bead with a flat clip. Your end is now fixed and you can start stringing the beads from the other side.

NB: The necklace is made of heishi beads with a hole big enough for the crush bead to be hidden inside. It is therefore not necessary to place a pearl cover to crush (half-open pearl that comes to position on the pearl to crush for a nicer finish). However, if you wish you can add a crush bead cover before you start stringing your heishi beads.

For the constitution of the necklace, nothing could be simpler. It is a simple stringing of beads on wire. You can of course follow the sequence proposed in this tutorial to the letter or let your imagination run wild by changing the order and colors of beads. Make the desired length.

Tip: To get a glimpse of the final result of your creation without having to remove the beads once they are strung you can use a beading tray. This is very practical and allows you to simulate the final result by placing your beads in a groove provided for this purpose before stringing your beads.

Once you have achieved your desired length, you can repeat step 1 to complete your creation. Thread a squeeze bead, a wire protector and then thread through the squeeze bead again before sealing it with your pliers. Place or not (depending on what you chose at the beginning) a crush bead cover.

Simply add a clasp on one side and an extension chain on the other with open rings. To do this step correctly and not deform your ring, you can consult our technical sheet: How to open a ring to make a jewel?
