hello kitty cats! this is my first tutorial. c: it's super low quality because i was in a rush to get it done so i could post it tonight. (i know, i know. bad rae!) but here goes nothing!
so basically i made a simple fairy kei inspired necklace out of pony beads, Bead N Strech, and a unicorn Sun Catcher. i got everything i needed at Wal-Mart for around $10 and it was all on the same aisle. :3 sweet!!
For those of you who have nooo idea what a Sun Catcher is, it's a clear piece of plastic that's shaped like an object, animal, ect. you paint them and traditionaly you hang them up in your window and the sun rays create really pretty colors! i know they aren't exactly ideal for jewelry making, but i couldn't resist a cute unicorn. ^_^' plus the necklace turned out super cute, so they're a very great cheaper alternative to traditional jewelry making stuff.
Let's begin!
Supplies:
• Sun Catcher
• Sun Catcher Paint
• Pony Beads
• Bead N String
• Scissors
• Paper Plate [optional]
• Clear Nail Polish [optional]
Step One: Paint your Sun Catcher according to the directions on the back of the package. (the paint is very liquidy, so it's hard to use the usual painting motion.)
Step Two: Let your Sun Catcher set out to dry. (i let mine sit out all night just to be safe.)
Step Three: Set up your pony beads, scissors, and string. Determine how long you want your necklace and cut the string. It's easier to use the pony beads when you pour them onto a paper plate or other flat surface.
Step Four: Run the string through the little hole on your Sun Catcher. Then pick the string up and hold it in the air, letting your Sun Catcher fall into the middle of the string. Move the ends of the string to match up evenly on both sides.
Step Five: Begin beading! But be careful not to use too many beads otherwise your string won't tie properly.Once your finished beading your necklace, tie the ends of the string into a knot.. or a triple know. c: If your worried about security, you can use clear nail polish on the knot for extra hold.
Step Six: Wear it and enjoy! c:
I hope that wasn't too lengthy. ^_^' if you have any questions, please feel free to ask! if you actually make one of these, show me! :D
goodbye now, kitties!
