DIY Statement Beaded Necklace

0 · Jul 12, 2012 · Stephanie Gerber · 25 Comments

DIY statement beaded neckace

Yes, I made another bead necklace! Just what the blog world needs, right? I was a crazy crafter the week of July 4 trying to get all of my projects finished before I lost them forever in the move. So I took all of my leftover beads from this necklace and this one and made one big statement necklace. Inspired by  patriotic colors I went with the classic color combination of red and white.

It was fun to make this because I planned to give it as a gift to my sister. My way of saying thank you for putting up with our crazy clan all week while we unpack boxes – and for always being so encouraging of the ol’ blog. 🙂

Statement Beaded Necklace Instructions

How to make a statement beaded necklace

Step 1: Paint beads of various sizes (found at JoAnn’s) with 2 coats of paint. Finish with a coat of Modge Podge gloss.

Step 2: String beads on twine and measure the length you want. Make a knot at the end of each side to hold the beads in place, leaving about 6 inches of excess twine at the end. Repeat with second strand of beads.

Step 3: Knot both strands of twine together. Repeat on other side.

Step 4: On one side make a loop and knot.

Step 5: On the other side make a knot, add another bead, and knot again. Cut off any excess twine.

Step 6: Slip the loop over the bead and you’re done!

Originally I planned to make the necklace three stands but that was a bit more of a statement than I wanted. So I separated out the biggest strand and made it its own necklace. I like its chunky, retro vibe!

    Great look! I love the way you placed the one red bead on the white necklace even with the larger bead on the larger necklace, so clever. Thank you for sharing at Freedom Fridays:)

      Thanks! The Kate Spade one is still my favorite – maybe because it started the bead obsession 🙂
