Seashell Jewelry
What are the best souvenirs to take back from a beach vacation? Jewelry made from seashell is a great option. And the gift you give will only be more precious if you decide to make the jewelry yourself.
- Depending on the design that you have finalized on, place out the seashells accordingly.
- Take the threading material and make a knot at one end so that when you bead in the seashells, they stay in place.
- Once you have knotted the threading material, it is time to thread in the seashells according to your design for the necklace. With some seashells, you may need to use a small drill, in order to make a hole, to allow the threading material to pass through.
- You can choose to use different beads with seashells in order to give it a slightly different and unique look.
- Once you have finished threading in all the seashells, you will need to tie a knot at the other end as well to secure the necklace.
- Attach clasps at both ends, and you are done creating a seashell necklace.
- As with any other piece of jewelry, the first step is to decide on the design that you want to use.
- Once you have decided on the design, it is time to recreate it practically. A great idea that you can use is to use invisible threading material to create looped earrings.
- Measure out the threading material to create loops of the size that you are comfortable with. Now tie a knot at one end, and start threading in beads. Once you reach the middle of the loop, thread in a seashell, and then again thread in beads.
- Now create a loop by making the ends meet and securing it by knotting the two ends together.
- Attach the earring hooks to the loops, and you have your jewelry ready. Remember to use the needle nose pliers to ensure that the hooks are secured properly.
