We will need:
- beads of any color;
- thin fishing line;
- scissors;
- bead needle;
- clasp;
- callots-shells with a loop for crimping the ends of the fishing line;
- a lighter or matches (to set fire to the ends of the fishing line before crimping with a callot).
First, we collect a long thread of beads; the longer it is, the thicker the necklace will be in the end. It is advisable to gain from 4 and a half meters to 6 and a half.
Next we tie both ends of the beaded thread, fasten it, cut it and burn the ends.
Fold the thread of beads so that you get 10 threads (if you have collected more than 5 meters of beads, you need to fold them into 12 or 14 threads, if you need to make the necklace more magnificent, if you need it longer, leave 10 threads).
We tie the ends of the necklace together with fishing line at the fold, so that the clasp can be attached.
We put on the callots, make a knot again to secure the callot (you can also use two or three knots, for greater strength), then set the ends on fire and hide them inside the callot. We clamp the halves so that the ends of the fishing line are inside the ball. Do not tighten the ring on each callot yet.
We put on the clasp and clamp the rings on the callots. It's best to use a clasp that twists, as our necklace will also be a little twisted.
We twist the necklace clockwise, doing this unfastened, so as not to break the clasp. This manipulation will help give the necklace elegance and it will seem that it was made using a complex technique.
This necklace can be worn in two ways - untwisted, loose, or twisted.
Happy crafting!
