bracelet:
Step 1: String the beads Start by pulling the desired beads one after the other onto a nylon thread. Make sure that the beads are well aligned and that there are no gaps to create an effective honeycomb pattern.
Step 2: Attach the clasps Now thread a crimp bead onto each end of the thread. Then thread a lobster clasp onto one of the ends and a ringlet onto the other end. You will need these elements to close the bracelet securely later.
Step 3: Adjust and secure bracelet Thread the Perlon thread back through the crimp beads to adjust the bracelet to your desired length. Press the crimp beads firmly together with jewelry pliers so that the ends are securely fastened. Your bracelet is now finished!
Design a chain with honeycomb pendant and bees
Step 1: Make a honeycomb pendant Take a chain pin and thread eight beads onto it. These form the centerpiece of your honeycomb pendant. Finally, add two crimp beads and press them firmly together at the end to secure the beads. Cut off the excess end of the chain pin.
Step 2: Stabilize the beads Glue the other honeycomb beads together with a suitable glue and allow everything to dry thoroughly. Cut a piece of pinwheel foil slightly smaller than the pendant and attach it to the back for extra stability.
Step 3: Add the bee pendant Slide the bee pendant onto another chain pin. Finally, add two crimp beads and press them firmly together at the end to secure the bee. Cut off the excess end of the chain pin.
Step 4: Assemble the elements Connect the bee pendant to the honeycomb pendant by using two rings. These rings allow the pendants to move flexibly and give your chain additional dynamism.
Step 5: Assemble chain Cut the jewelry cord to the desired length. The cord should be sized so that the chain fits well around your neck, while the bow sits at the side. Thread the finished honeycomb pendant and other decorative elements such as flowers onto the cord. Tie a decorative-pearl to each end.
Wrapping and finishing
Final touch: creative packaging Cut pieces of cardboard, stamp them with patterns or motifs of your choice and round off the corners. Cut matching slits to securely attach and present the bracelet and chain . This way, the bracelet and the chain are beautifully packaged as a gift.
