Crystal floral leather necklace

Project

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

step 1: preparing your materials

Prepare your work environment. Organizing your tools and materials will help

you work faster and more efficient.

 

Cut the white leather to a 50cm piece.

Use 44cm of the 6mm round loops chain.

  

 

Step 2 : connecting the leather to the chain

 

Open 6mm jump rings that will be the connecting element between the chain and the leather.

Start to connect from the center to the ends, a jump ring for every 11 loops of the chain.
 

 

  
Open the jump ring using both pleirs and close it on the leather.
 

When you connected all of the chain until the ends cut off the extra leather that is left.

 

  
 

To close the necklace the end of the leather needs to be held by the metal ends for 3mm cord.

Just put the metal ends on the leather edge and use the pleir tool to press it until it closes.

 

  
 

Open 6mm jump rings with the help of the pleir tools and connect the ends of the leather and chain together, and then hang the clasp and the jump rings of the other end.

  

  

 
 

Step 3: connecting the setting elements

 

The 5 setting elements needs to be connected to each other with three 6mm jump rings on each side, and the last element will hand directly on the chain.

  
 

 

To start hanging the setting elements, place them exactly in the center of the necklace and us 6mm jump ring to hang them on the chain.

  
   

  

 
 

Step 4: setting the stones

 

Place the stone in the center of the stone setting and with the help of the setting tool bend the prongs towards the stone in order to embed it.

Bend the prongs gently to make sure you don't damage the stone or crack the plating in this process.

  

  

 
 

great!

The necklace is ready!

 

Enjoy your new beautiful Swarovski necklace.
