Today we will make a necklace and bracelet from thin leather cords using fittings for regalism.
Working with thin cords is a bit more complicated than with a thick cord of regaliz, but if desired, everyone will cope with this task.
What do we need:
1) Leather cords. The thicker the cord, the less they will be in the beam, the easier it is to do. I chose a cord in 2 mm.
2) Castle
3) Beads (using accessories for regalism)
4) glue (moment of second)
5) Thread
Begin.
We take the cord and pretending how much it will be needed. To do this, it is necessary to understand how many pieces are in the castle. We need to make the cords densely occupy space in the lock. I got a bunch of 13 cords (cords with a diameter of 2 mm) the length of each cord in the beam is about 90 cm (I immediately do for necklace and bracelet). Accordingly, I needed a little less than 12 meters.
Cut cords. We collect them in the bundle and we are taken to drive beads. I started from the middle, and then I will add on each side (this is not fundamentally, I'm just so more handy). For this set, I chose ceramic beads of two colors and 2 types of metal spacers (thickening and thorough) and a central metal bead with enamel.
After you put all the beads, proceed to gluing the castle.
We do this: Align the ends of the cords in the beam. Next, we wash the tips with glue. After that, we take a thread folded twice, and tightly begin to wind the end of the beam. We make winding at about a centimeter.
After it was wrapped, we welt a little one side of the winding with glue, so that the thread grabbed and was not unwound.
Next, we put into the kitchen and on the board knife smoothly cut off the edge, grabbing part of the winding. I have a depth of the lock approximately 6-7 mm, so I grabbed 3 mm winding so that the threads in the product can be seen.
The slice is also a little cleaned. Next, we apply glue to the bottom and the walls of the castle and insert our bundle there.
One side is ready!
Now I cut off the beam superfluous from the second side. Before that, lay it out with a semicircle, so that the necklace is better for the neck and begin to process the second end just as we did before.
Necklace is ready!
We are taken for the bracelet.
Now we return to our sliced end.
He is destined to become a bracelet.
We carry out the same operations as with the necklace.
