Every piece of jewelry that I make is very easy to make so don’t be scared of attempting to make it because it looks complicated.First time making may or may not yield the design you wanted to make keep practicing you will get there you can also check my previous article on 3 tips on how to make jewelry
 

The Class Begins (there are photos)

Summary Tips
  1. The pattern begins with 4 beads no wings attached. 
  2. The 2nd pattern with 4 beads has wings attached. 
  3. The 3rd pattern with 4 beads has no wings attached. 
  4. The 4th pattern has wings attached both sides.

NB:after attaching wings to one pattern ,we skip one pattern the next pattern wings are attached.However if you have few beads you can skip two patterns.

5. The moment you attach wings to the 4th pattern you immediately start counting it as your number1pattern then go to number 2 pattern which doesn’t need attaching of wings. No.3 attach wings both sides, No.4 pattern connects you with the next pattern therefore do not put wings on it. 

We are using the following materials

  • A pair of scissors
  • An elastic string
  • Black beads
  • 2earring hooks
  • One necklace hook

Cut a long elastic string because the necklace design is likely to use up much of the string

Put the following in this order:

Two black beads, the necklace hook and then two last black beads.The necklace hook is definitely at the middle.
Check the photo below

Beads and a hook

The string is divided into two right and left string.

Left string.

Take the left string put it in the last bead that is on the right string. Check the photo below

How to make the bracelet (with photos)

Follow the same pattern with the necklace but let it be short than the necklace check photo below

Bracelets on my hand

When it came to attaching wings I had to skip two patterns so that the bracelet isn’t too long

 

How to make earrings (with photos)

Put four beads in a string (there is no hook)
The left string should be put in the last bead in the right string and the following shape will form check 3 photos below:

I now know you already know how to attach wings ,in that one pattern attach wings that have 4 beads in each side and you’ll have this shape in the photo below:

Phase 2 of beads in earrings

Now let’s run both the left and right string through the beads in ascending order until both strings make it to the top check photos below:
