How to make wood jewelry?

Step1: Assemble the ordinary wood beads with seed beads.

This is the most standing out design while making wooden jewelry in this project. Firstly, cut a 200mm long wire,

string the seed beads (8~10 pieces is enough in this tutorial) as start. Wrap the wood bead with the seed beads

strand as the picture showing. Then repeat the above actions until the wood bead is covered by the seed beads

strands.

At last, tie a knot at the bottom of the well-decorated wood bead of the wood necklace. In order to make the

details achieve highly coordination with the whole wood necklace, you can hide the knot in the wood bead. In

addition, in today’s necklace, one wood bead and eight seed beads strands are the best!

Finally, cut off the excess wire and repeat the whole actions four times for another three new branches:

Step2: Add on the Middle East Rhinestone beads to the well-decorated wood bead.

After getting four groups like that of this wood necklace, the rest work is to add on the Middle East Rhinestone

beads. Take one 35mm Eyepin, and then group two Middle East Rhinestone beads at the two sides of

well-decorated wood bead. At the end, make a hook with the round nose plier.

Repeat four times like the step1, and then you will get four new groups.

Step3: Prepare the connect parts while making wooden jewelry

About how to make a necklace with separate wood beads, you may need other beads to combine them. In today’s

wood necklace making project, I adopt the transparent Acrylic Beads between the colorful well-decorated wood

beads. For these branches, make use of the 18mm eyepins. Through pass the pins to the jewelry beads and make

a hook at end.

Step4: Group the above making pieces and design the center part of the wood necklace

Just hook them together as the order in the picture. Then, pick up the iron chain and cut out two 40~50 long parts,

open the hook of the well-decorated wood beads and hang them on.

Step5: Adorn the chain

Though the well-decorated wood beads have been certain made eye-catching, as the center part of this wood

necklace, the embellishment process is also play a vital role in making wooden jewelry. In order to adorn the chain,

firstly you can prepare the following pendants with another two smaller wood beads and Czech Glass Beads.

According to the actions in step3 while prepare the connect parts. Here, replace the eyepins with headpins is

necessary.

After that, just hang them at the end of the chains.

Step6: Add the handmade alloy chain

To complete the whole project, add on the handmade alloy chain is the last process! Open the first and last circle

of the chain with wire-cutter plier. So far, the whole project is finishing! Take a look at my ending wood necklace
