Sailor spirit colorful set

Earrings:

To begin, thread the beads onto the studs. Shell charms are attached to round-head or loop-head studs, and other beads are threaded onto flat-head studs.

To open the ring on loop-head studs, grasp the end of the ring and rotate it with flat-nose pliers. Place the charm in the loop and close it by rotating the opening again. Twist slightly to close the loop. No opening should be left.

Bend the nail at right angles. Recut the nails 1.4 cm from the last bead strung. Use round-tipped pliers to form a large loop. Grab the end of the nail with the pliers and turn the pliers around the nail in the opposite direction to the angle. To make a large loop, you need to catch the shank of the nail with the wide part of the pliers close to the pivot.

Thread your studs onto the creoles. Reverse the direction of threading for the second loop to create a symmetrical pair.

Bracelet:

Cut 25 cm of thread for a 14-16 cm wrist. Lengthen the thread for each additional centimetre of wrist circumference. Thread a crush tube, pass the thread through the last link of the chain and back into the crush bead. Allow the wire to protrude 2 cm. Flatten the crush tube with the flat-nose pliers.

String an eye bead to hide the crush tube inside. String beads randomly or follow the pattern.

You can also add small shell charms. To do this, open a ring using two jewelry pliers. Grab both sides of the ring at the opening with each pair of pliers and twist both ends to open the ring without distorting it. Add the charm and close in the same way. At the end, turn the ring back and forth to close the opening perfectly. Thread the charm onto your bracelet.

To make a Seed beads flower, start by threading four beads in the color of the petals and one bead for the heart. Next, thread the thread back through the first bead. Tighten and place the flower against the last beads strung.

String two new beads in the same color as the petals.

Pass the thread through the cream bead that was threaded just before the gold bead in the center. Tighten. You should get this.

Continue threading your beads until you have a bracelet length the size of your wrist -1 cm. Thread a crush tube, pass the thread through the last link on the other side of the chain and pass the thread back through the crush tube. Flatten with flat-nose pliers. Pass the thread back through the beads for a few centimetres, then trim the excess.

Test the bracelet on your wrist and cut the chain. The short side will hold the Lobster Clasp and the long side will hold the clasp. On the model, there are three links on the clasp side and nine on the other.

Attach the snap hook with an open ring. Add a shell charm with a ring on the long part of the chain for decoration.

Necklace:

Cut 2 pieces of wire, each 60 cm long. On the first wire, thread a crush tube, pass the wire through the last link of the chain and back into the bead to be crushed. Allow the end of the wire to protrude by 2 cm. Flatten the crush tube with flat-nose pliers. String 21 cm of faceted olive beads. String a round gold filigree bead, an eye bead and another round gold bead. String the rest of the olive beads. Thread a new Crimp bead, passing the thread through the same link as before, back into the bead to be crushed and flattened.

Repeat the beginning of step 1 to attach the second piece of wire to the other side of the chain. As with the bracelet, string beads randomly. Find out how to make flowers with Seed beads in the bracelet tutorial. Thread the same length of beads as for the first part.

Once the thread is long enough, thread it through the first part of the collar, then attach the end to the same link as at the beginning of step 2 using the crush tube technique.

Test the necklace on yourself to adjust the length of the chain, then recut it to fit the width of the clasp. Then attach the clasp and add a ring on the other side of the chain to close the clasp easily.
