MY DIY | Turquoise Spike Necklace
DIY PROJECT, Jewelry DIY
Last week while at the Renegade Craft Fair I ran into my friend Tracie who runs the amazing bead, charm, and jewelry supply shop in Williamsburg called Brooklyn Charm. We got to talking about some turquoise beads I saw on @brooklyncharm instagram and she was sweet enough to show me how to make my own necklace with them. Details after the break!
What you need:
Gold round beads
Chain
Cable
Crimp bead and crimp bead cover
Crimp Pliers
(All supplies can be found at Brooklyn Charm, or call and they can mail supplies)
What to do:
Thread the cable through the end of your chain
Fold over the end and thread on your crimp bead
Crimp the bead so it makes a hotdog bun
Then use your pliers to pinch the two sides (close the hotdog bun)
Use the crimp bead cover to hid the crimp, close with the pliers
Next, string on your gold beads and turquoise spikes onto the cable.
Thread the cable through the other side of your chain, and add the crimp bead and cover.
Cut of the loose cable.
My chain already had the clasp attached, but add if yours does not.
Layer with all your other necklaces!
