Nylon Mesh tubing necklace tutorial.
First, you need to adjust the end cap to the side of the mesh. Take a bead according to the size of the mesh, insert a pin into it. You can use any end caps. But they should not be too short. Pay attention, that the wound wire on the pin should fit inside the end cap.
I took a thin copper wire and placed the mesh as shown in the photo.
We need to shorten the nylon tips and put the end cap on the pin. In order to strengthen it, you can apply the glue on the ends. We should make a ring from a pin.
Next, you need to choose the length of the necklace. So, you should cut off the appropriate amount of the nylon mesh tubing. So the tubing will have the length that you need.
Everyone uses their own method of inserting the beads. You can insert the beads the way you feel comfortable to.
In order to insert the beads inside the nylon mesh tube, I use the funnel, that I have improved a little bit. I made an additional nozzle from a regular ballpoint pen. I cut off the sharp part from the handle and inserted it tightly into the funnel. I also cut off the very tip so that the beads go straight into the hole. The main thing is that the tip should fit when we insert it into the nylon mesh tubing.
Now you can insert the beads. Fill the nylon mesh tubing with beads of any colour.
I am going to make a long necklace – about 70 cm. You can choose the length you want.
On the second side, we should adjust the end cap just as we did earlier.
Let’s add the beads on the tips of the necklace. We should use pins of a suitable colour.
After that, we should attach the beads using connecting rings.
Now you are able to make gorgeous and fascinating bracelets and necklaces. You only need to use the nylon mesh tubing. It will make your work much more interesting. You can use different filling material: seed beads or crystal and glass beads. And don’t forget to use glue to attach it to a clasp. This nylon mesh tubing is literally a miracle. You can use it while making almost any craft. Any jewellery project with beads will look awesome if you use a nylon mesh tubing.
If you use a cheap nylon mesh tubing, and cheap jewellery findings, you still can create gorgeous and fashionable jewellery in no time! You can make such a necklace with your own hands just in one hour!
