Step 1: Determine the right length of cord
To get started with your beach style-chain , first select the desired length of the chain . think about how you want the chain to fit around your neck - tight or loose? Once you have found the right length, cut the cord three times to this length. This will form the base of your chain .
Step 2: Add beads and pendants
Now the creative part begins. Choose your favorite beads and small pendants. String them onto one of the cords in the order of your choice. Here you can play with colors and shapes to create a personal touch that matches the beach aesthetic.
Step 3: Tie the ends together
Once all the beads and pendants have been strung, knot the ends of each cord firmly together. Make sure that there is no space between the beads so that they do not shift.
Step 4: Attach the ringlets and lobster clasp
To finish off your chain , tie a small metal ring, also known as a ringlet, next to each end knot. You then attach a lobster clasp to one of these rings to ensure that you can easily put on and take off the chain .
Step 5: Finishing with crimped domes
To ensure that your chain is particularly stable and the knots do not slip, press a crimping cap over each end knot. These metal sleeves secure the knots and give the chain a clean finish.
Step 6: Present the chains on kraft paper
To round off the presentation of your home-made chain and perhaps even use it as a gift, cut a piece of kraft paper and stamp it as you wish. Round off the corners of the paper to give it a professional look. Then cut small slits in the Paper and attach the chain to them.
Now you have a beautiful beach-style-chain, that is not only homemade, but perfectly complements your summer look!
