Underwater Necklace
This simple and fun project from Katie Hacker is great to remember a day at the beach during the cold of winter. The silver and teal colors of this necklace make it seem like you can hear the ocean.
Materials:
- Remembrance Memory Wire; 1 1/2 loops of necklace-size
- 7" length of 1.7mm black Rubber Tubing
- Two 3mm round silver Memory Wire End Caps
- Beadalon 49 Strand Most Flexibile wire; 2" length of .013" diameter
- 1.3mm silver crimp bead
- 35mm teal/silver pendant
- Green Toho seed beads: 22 size 6/0, 15 size 11/0
- Six 6mm round clear glass beads
- Ten 4mm silver spacer beads
- Memory Wire Shears
- Beadstorm™ Chain Nose Pliers
- BeadFix™
Steps:
- String the 11/0 beads onto the Beadalon wire. Place a crimp bead on one end, then string the pendant onto the center. Place the other end through the opposite side of the crimp bead to form a loop. Use chain nose pliers to flatten it.
- String the pendant onto the center of the necklace. On each side of the pendant, string the following beads: clear, silver, four 6/0, silver, clear, silver, six 6/0, silver, clear, silver, 6/0.
- String the rubber tubing onto each side of the necklace. Trim if necessary so that 1/8" of memory wire shows at each end.
- Place a drop of glue onto the wire end, then press a memory wire end cap onto the wire; repeat for the other end of the necklace.
