Easy Heart Beat Pendant + Beads Necklace
Hello! I am here with a necklace made using beads and wires that is indeed sturdy and looks attractive. You can see videos of each step embedded in this instructable and make one for you. So before beginning, grab some materials i.e. supplies listed below.
Materials/Supplies:-
- Glitter Powder: Golden and Silver (You can also contrasting color glitters like red and orange)
- Pincers
- Pliers
- Wires ((Thin - 1 mm; Thick - 2 mm)approx)
- Paint brush(I prefer of size 10)
- Marker/Pen
- Paper
- Glue/Super-glue
- Thread
- Beads
- Scissors(Optional)
- Gloves(Optional)
Lets start!
Sketching the Pattern
Take a piece of paper and sketch the pattern of heart and beats. You can refer to the file uploaded to check the pattern.
Grab Some Wires
You can buy the metallic wires from any shop(if you don't have) or can take a wire(any from home) and remove the rubber coat over it using pliers (Under parent's/guardian's supervision). You'll require 2 wires: one of 1 mm (approximately) and other of 2 mm(approximately).
Fabricating a Rough Design
Using the thick wire of 2 mm(approx), try making a rough design of the heart beat pendant as you have drawn in the sheet of paper. Kindly make a small hole in the heart as shown in the embedded image.
NOTE: The heart must be smaller than the latter waves i.e. the waves after the heart.
Improving the Edges + Curves of the Heart
Pondering upon the process of making the pendant(necklace), we had made a rough design. Now its the time to sharpen the edges of beats and improve the curves of heart. You can use pincers to do so.
NOTE: If the wire have sharp ends which hurts, cut it using pliers and then proceed.
Decorating the Pendant Design
After the wire is molded into the definite desired shape, its the time to enhance its beauty using some beads, wires and glitter powder(I used golden and silver).
The thin wire of 1 mm(approx) will be passed through the hole of the heart and will act as a spiral on the upper portion of heart (Refer the Image)
NOTE: The part above the green line will only be spiraled by the wire depicting the area where silver glitter power is placed.
Playing With Beads
You can use some beads and thread to make the necklace which will be in-turn attached with the pendant. I have used rotating knobs at the end of threads for adjustments. If you don't have, you can neglect the knobs and make a simple necklace.
Assembling the Parts
Once the necklace(which we made using beads) is ready; you can attach it using super glue(take care of your hands). First roll it on the second bead and apply glue and second keep it undisturbed for 10 to 12 minutes.
NOTICE: If you have UV Light at home, you can use it after applying super glue to boost up the process.
TADA! Its ready for you to wear and show your creativity. Using the same method, you can also make different designs and pendants of your choice. If you made this or any other pendant, do share with me in the comment box.
