Resin Beads Jewelry Design Idea

(Cavite, Philippines)

Resin beads mimic turquoise in this easy to make resin beads necklace design idea. Use a step by step tutorial on how to string beads to recreate this jewelry design idea.

Jewelry Making Materials:
Resin beads, glass crystals, nylon thread, lobster lock, stoppers...

Actually, I am not so sure about the correct name of this color. (:

I just think that it is a different shade of green which I like so much.

I also mixed in antiqued-brass flower spacer beads. I love the finished product!

On each side of the necklace string eight resin nugget beads.

Thread the beading wire back through the crimp tube bead and a few resin nugget beads.

Using the crimping pliers, crimp the crimp bead.

Repeat Steps 4 through 7 on the other side of the necklace, stringing the lobster claw clasp instead of a jump ring.
