As you may have noticed, we at Perles & Co love the bandana jewelry trend! In this tutorial, we'll show you how to make a bandana necklace with worked beads and a pendant. This tutorial is perfect if you're new to jewelry-making and want to get started with DIY. What's more, you'll need just a few products to create this trendy necklace - pretty cool, don't you think?
In this tutorial, we've used an orange bandana, stainless steel rings and beads and a golden shark tooth pendant. But feel free to personalize this jewel to your taste by choosing other bandana colors from those available on our website. You can also create a silver version by changing the beads and pendant! By the way, are you a silver or gold team for summer?
You can wear this jewel with a pretty summer outfit, alone or in combination with other necklaces. It's the little detail that changes everything and instantly adds character to your summer looks!
This necklace is part of our Escale à Ibiza collection, in which you'll find plenty of other bohemian jewelry tutorials, ideal for this summer!

Start by cutting the bandana about 7cm wide along the grain. If you're cutting a bandana for the first time, check out our video on how to cut a bandana.
Then fold the two ends over the center.
Fold in half, keeping the cut ends inside.
Start threading beads and rings: here I've threaded a fairly large bead at the first end, followed by 4 worked rings and a double ring.
Then continue threading, alternating single and twisted rings.
Add the shark tooth pendant. To do this, open a simple ring using flat-nose pliers, slide on the pendant and close the ring. You can then slide the ring onto the bandana as with the previous ones.
Do the same on the other side, symmetrically.
Once you've finished threading the beads and rings. Take one end of the bandana and slip on a single ring.
We'll start by tying a knot into which we'll wedge the ring. Start by passing the end along the length of the bandana.
Then pass the end underneath, as if to roll up the length of the bandana.
Pass the end inside this "wrap" to form a knot.
Then tighten by adjusting the knot.
Do the same on the other side.
Add a clasp with an extension chain for easy size adjustment.
