Now let’s look at how to make an original chain called “Summer Cocktail” yourself.
To do this you will need:
large beads of mother-of-pearl milky color – 6,
diamond-shaped plastic bead in lettuce color with green streaks – 1,
round beads – 2,
oval beads – 2,
dense orange cord with a diameter of 1 mm - 1.5 meters,
lock for chains – 1.
Let's move on to the manufacturing process.
1. Cut the orange cord into 3 pieces of 50 centimeters each. For a long chain, you can take a longer cord. Tie three parts on one side with a strong knot.
2. We begin to braid. For a short chain, it is enough to make 7 sections of the braid. We insert large milky-colored beads into the middle part of the cord and weave it into a braid. The beads can be surrounded by a cord on both sides or left only on one side.
3. We weave further. We make 4 more sections of the braid. After that, we insert an oval bead into the middle cord. We continue to weave the braid into 4 sections until the population of large beads. We alternately insert into the braid: a round bead, a diamond-shaped one, again a round one and an oval one. We insert large beads between them. We complete the chain with a braid of 7 segments.
4. To complete the process of creating a “Summer Cocktail”, tightly tie three parts of the cord into a knot.
5. Attach a lock to the ends of the chain and cut off the excess length of the cord.
Making such an original chain is very simple. It takes only a few minutes. The color of the cord can be replaced with another, as well as other accessories. The main thing is that it is beautiful, stylish and tasteful.
