Methods to Make a Blue Denims Necklace

Begin by chopping your denim to make the different-sized rosettes. I used simply the hems, strips across the pockets, and the seam contained in the legs on the denim. These are stiff sufficient to carry their form, and sometimes go unused in crafting.

After you have lower off the seam items, then you’ll measure and lower a bit of denim to create the bottom of the necklace. I lower mine 3″ extensive and 6″ lengthy, with a curve within the middle. You can also make yours any form and dimension you like.

To do that, I lower the fundamental rectangle, then folded it in half and lower off the nook of 1 aspect at an angle.

Then, I unfolded it to create the bottom of the necklace.

Now, return to the seams you chop off earlier, and start rolling them and gluing them to themselves. You’ll proceed this rolling all of the completely different lengths into various-sized rosettes.

Now, organize these rolls on high of the bottom you chop earlier. Combine and match the completely different sizes to cowl all the denim base. Then, glue these into place.

As soon as the bottom is roofed, return over the rosettes and glue pearl beads across the high, in between the rolls, and in random locations.

Subsequent, glue the lace ribbon across the fringe of the bottom of the necklace. Then, make certain it’s lengthy sufficient on each ends to tie round your neck.

The entire size of the ribbon I used was round 18″, however you can also make it shorter or longer to fit your preferences.
