Simple Stringing

We are going to see about stringing.Stringing is nothing but threading small beads in a string.Stringing material can be Thread, Fireline, Cord,Wire or Ribbons.I am going to show you how to do simple stringing so that no special tools are necessary.

Material Needed:
Any Beads(Crystals/Gemstones)
Fishline/Silamide/Wildfire                                               
Beading Needle
Lobster Clasp
Closed Jumpring

Directions:
Cut 2 pieces of fireline measuring a yard each.Take one piece and string all the beads.In my projects I have used station beads to highlight my Jewelry.I have used approximately 144 Swarovski 4mm bicone crystals.For the station beads I have used the same 4mm beads but different color/shape.Take the other piece of fireline,thread to a needle and pass the fireline through the already strung strand.In one end, you can bring the fireline through the lobster clasp and pass it through few beads and tie a knot and again pass through few more beads and tie a knot.In the other end,pass the fireline through the closed jumpring and few beads,tie a knot and repeat this with few more beads.Trim the excess fireline.
I use 6lb 0.008" fireline.Fireline are available in different colors too.I prefer fireline than wildfire.

Without Clasp:
You can use approximately 250 beads of 4mm and string them through double string and tie a knot.Pass the remaining string through the beads and tie knot.Do it 2 or 3 times to secure it.You can put on  this Jewelry through your head.If you do increase the count of beads you can wrap in double strands around your neck and in that case it is good to add small clasp.This is a simple necklace without using any special tool.

This makes a good birthday gift or a special gift to someone.Most of all Handmade by You.

Chain Nose Plier

Chain nose plier is one among the important tools of Jewelry.This tool has a flat area and the area should be smooth and not textured. It tapers down approximately to 1mm at the end.This tool is used for gripping and bending wires while making certain findings.It can be used for opening and closing jumprings and also helps to make a tight close wire wraps in earwire making,headpins,charms making,etc.,

Suede Charm Bracelet

This is a simple bracelet and hope you will enjoy.I love to work with Suede they are so fun to work and not pricy too.I had a charm with two holes and thought the braided type will go well this.When you buy suede,it will come in few meters and is wound in a card.When you unwind the suede you can see the fold.I did a warm iron one time and it worked for me.Next time when I iron ,I burnt the suede so please be careful .

Cut 3 pieces of  8 Inches suede.Select one suede piece  and string the charm to the center.

Take the other two suede pieces and place it one on each side of the charm piece.With holding the charm and the suede pieces braid the half of the portion from the charm.Then braid the other half from the other side of the charm.Place the 3 ends of suede pieces and place it in the cord end,squeeze the ends and apply glue to the suede and also to the cord end.Trim the excess suede at the ends.

Add the jumprings to both the ends and in one end add the lobster clasp.The bracelet should dry before use.

Now,the bracelet is ready.This measurement will give a finished bracelet of 7.5Inches(approx).

You can do the same bracelet with hanging charms.when you braid you can add the charms according to the number and position you want.
