How To Make Jewelry Using European Beads?

European beads are the modern creation that has made the jewelry making process much more fun and creative. These beads can help you in making your own unique and newly styled ornaments that will speak of innovation and fashion as well. I have used European beads in a variety of my own jewelry items. They look wonderful and trendy. You must also try using them to heighten your jewelry collection.
In necklaces and Brooches making:
You can use them in making brooches and necklaces. I made fancy jewelry with sterling silver strings and chains with these beads. In the market, there is a no. of designs and colors available for you to choose from. These beads are perfect for bracelets making, rings, earrings, necklaces and brooches that looks very elegant and are a prominent addition to the jewelry collection of any women. A jewelry box of a woman is always incomplete without these things.  You can design brooches in any design and style that your creativity lets you; you just need to keep them unique and fascinating because people observe them very carefully. European beads can add to the beauty of your brooches and make them more fancy and rare. Your whole personality will be going to be magnified when you wear a necklace made by these beads as they look very trendy and elegant. Earrings and rings can also be designed using different these beads..
In Bracelets and Anklets Making:
You can make anklets and bracelets using European beads. However, you can make bracelets more heavy and bulky by loading them with beads and charms and they will still look classic and stylish but you can’t do the same with anklets.  Bracelets look funky when they have multiple strings and a lot of beads and charms in them and are loved by many young teens. The theory of anklets is different especially in this term, the fine and delicate the anklet, the more it will look elegant. To design an anklet you should try to use as minimum material as you can. Use small beads in a small amount, a silver thin chain, and 2 or 3 different size beads to make a perfect looking anklet.
In Other Different Projects:
European beads are lighter in weight so you can make heavy looking jewelry by putting these in your jewelry project. Any ornament that is made of these beads is light weight and comfortable to put on. You can also use these beads in decoration your handbags, shawls, shirts, decoration pieces, etc. you can also use them in crafting different wall hangings and gifts for loved ones.

These modern and fashionable beads have transformed the idea of artificial jewelry in everyone’s mind. The jewelry made up of these beads costs almost nothing and can give you a good amount of margin when you sell your handmade jewels in the market. They provide high-end elegance and style to the looks of the person wearing them.

Are you glad that now the statement necklaces are back in the trends? Thank God!! Now you can wear something different than just plain and boring pendant necklaces. You may find a large amount of variety in the market now but there is always one thing anyone would love and it is making a necklace out of wooden beads at home.

Who says you cannot make anything good out of the wooden beads? I would like to share with you one of my personal favorite projects on making a statement necklace.
Materials Needed
You will need beads in different sizes i.e.
·         12 beads of 25 mm
·         12 beads of 20 mm
·         6 beads of 16 mm
·         12-24 beads of 12 mm
·         4 to 7 double rings
·         2 to 3 strand end bars
·         Nylon monofilament
·         Chain
·         Nose pliers
·         Scissors
Method:
·         Now here is what you need to do. Follow the pattern below to string the beads into the nylon monofilament. You can also make your own variation in the pattern, it is never harmful to use your own creativity. You can fill the chain with more beads in case you do not want to show the chain much.

·         Once you are happy with the length, it is time to tie the monofilament into a knot on each ring having 3 strand end bars. Make sure you leave 2 inches overhang of the knotted monofilament so that you can tuck the strands of beads back in.

·         You have to attach a chain with the 3 strand end bars in case you are not adding enough beads in the necklace. After this, you have to attach a toggle clasp to the chain.


It is a simple necklace but it is surely enough to let you make your own style statement. It all depends on you to introduce some variations in the style by adding more beads. You can also play with colors and sizes. It is going to be a wonderful idea to gift this amazing necklace to your best friend. She will love your effort and as it is an elegant piece, she is never going to say No to it.

When choosing the wooden beads, you are required to be a lot careful in terms of quality. In different marketplaces, you are going to come across different quality in beads and jewelry findings. If you are a beginner then you might have trouble in picking the right quality but if you into jewelry making, the only thing you will be overwhelmed by is variety itself.


Many people think that nothing can be made out of wooden beads so they avoid using them; instead they use some luxury beads so that a nice and luxurious jewelry item can be created. As long as you are using the best quality beads, you can make a lot of stuff out of the beads made from wood too. All you need is ideas and the jewelry making supplies and you can create more projects likes this right from the comfort of your home.
