Charm Cluster Necklace - DIY Jewelry Making Tutorial by PotomacBeads
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
Use your wire-working and basic stringing skills to create a necklace with a playful side.
1. Collect various 1-hole beads ranging in size from 3-8mm. Add one or two beads to a headpin and finish with a wrapped loop. Continue making small charms in this fashion until you have approximately 80, or more.
2. Watch the Charm Cluster Necklace to see how to turn a collection of charms into a fluffy centerpiece.
3. String beads on either side of the charm center to your desired length. Add a clasp.
Almost any size or shape bead can be used in this necklace. Collect the extra beads from other projects for a project like this, and even try shortening it to a bracelet.

Can I use the one step looper
@Potomacbeadco
Жыл бұрын
The kind of loops Anna demonstrates in the tutorial are wrapped loops and the One Step Looper is not designed to make wrapped loops. Unless you would rather do regular loops (loops that are not wrapped) then, yes, the One Step Looper will work. This video may be helpful! potomacbeads.com/do-i-need-to-coil-my-eye-pin
