Black and gold wooden beads necklace

How to make a long necklace with wooden beads?

Here's an easy, trendy tutorial for creating a Scandinavian-style wooden bead necklace. All you need are wooden beads, several colors of paint and thread. The hardest part will be choosing between the different shapes and sizes of wooden beads!

This jewelry tutorial is infinitely adaptable: you can mix and match colors and shapes to create a piece of jewelry that reflects your image and your mood.

For further inspiration, take a look at our other wooden jewelry tutorials.

STEP 1

Paint two faceted wooden beads with black paint. Don't forget to apply two coats for complete opacity.

STEP 2

Once the paint is dry, all you need to do is thread the beads onto a wire. Here we've chosen Lizbeth cotton thread in pink to add lightness to this necklace, but there's nothing to stop you from using a very fine chain (please ensure that the diameter of the chain is less than 2mm).

Thread a gold bead, the black-painted raw wood bead, a gold crush tube, the wooden cube, a gold crush tube, the black-painted raw wood bead and a gold bead.

Your necklace is complete! You can wear it with all your favorite outfits.
