Many people do not take on such creativity due to a lack of imagination and certain skills, however, guided by the master classes presented below, it will be very easy to make a beautiful decoration at home yourself.

Stylish lace

Materials:

  • leather or suede lace;
  • accessories;
  • pliers.

Cut the cord to the desired length and attach fittings to its edges.

At the initial stage, you need to secure the pin to the cork so that the bottle can be conveniently hung on the cord. To do this, coat the pin well with glue and stick it into the cork, as shown in the photo.

Then twist the free part of the pin into a ring using pliers, and you need to pay attention to the diameter of this ring - the chain on which the pendant will hang should easily pass through it. If the size of the pin does not allow making a ring with a sufficient diameter, then an additional ring of the required diameter can be made from wire and attached to the pin.

Next comes the fun part - choosing the contents for the bottle. Here your imagination can run wild to its heart's content, but we suggest putting something small or something memorable in there. An original key, dried flowers, beads, beads, sparkles and sequins will look good.

Repeat these steps until the workpiece is completely filled. Measure the desired length of the chain, attach a lock to it and put the pendant on it.

Broken glass pendant

Instead of glitter from the master class described above, you can use broken glass to fill the blank. This glass must first be crushed and then carefully glued to the base, as in the previous version. After drying, the glass can be painted in any desired color using nail polish.

  • large beads;
  • fittings for fastening;
  • Super glue;

Measure the length of the wire according to your neck size and bite off its edges so that it is convenient to put the choker on your neck. Place beads on the edges. Drop glue into the holes of the beads and insert fittings there for fastening.

By analogy with a choker, you can make the same original bracelet or ring.

First, the beans must be painted with nail polish and wait until they dry completely.

Attach the paper template on the reverse side to a sheet of transparent plastic.

In accordance with the diagram, glue the beans onto the plastic, spreading it well with glue.

First, it is better to collect large patterns from beans, and fill the gaps between them and small patterns with beads.

After the workpiece is completely glued, it needs to be given time to dry, and then using a stationery knife, cut the plastic strictly along the edge of the product. Using a hole punch, you need to make holes in the plastic at the extreme points of the necklace and insert the chain links into them.

Fold the pieces of beads so that one end is shorter than the other and carefully sew them to the fabric of the hoop.

The maximum length of beads should be located at the edges of the hoop, and the shortest in the middle. In this case, the transition from the edges to the center should be made very smoothly.

When all the pieces of beads are secured, you need to sew or glue a piece of fabric to the inside of the choker, which will hide all the seams.

To create an attractive look and completeness in a suit, many women use various necklaces. They can be made from both natural and synthetic materials. When choosing an accessory, it is important to consider the correspondence of the shape and size to the type of appearance. Stylists' advice will help you avoid mistakes when creating an image.

Types of neck jewelry

  • They are a thread with stringed beads. The following are also used as decorative elements: glass beads, beads, semi-precious stones. A distinctive feature of the accessory is the inability to determine the middle of the thread (if there is no clasp).


  • is a velvet strip of fabric on which one elegant pendant is attached. The accessory can be complemented with lace, organza and golden threads. Assumes a tight fit to the neck.

  • is a round or oval-shaped decoration that is strung on a thread or chain. To do this, a hole is made in the upper part or a special eyelet is fixed. The raw materials for manufacturing can be both precious and ordinary materials. The pendant can consist of two parts, between which a tiny photo is inserted.


  • at the base it has no more than 40 cm, which suggests a location near the neck, but without a tight fit. The look is popular with a string of pearls, which suits almost any woman. In other cases there may be: a chain, a cord with a pendant or medallion, a thread with beads and other decor.

  • made from stone or layered rock. It is a figurine, usually oval in shape, with a three-dimensional pattern. Attached through a hole to a velvet cord or silk ribbon.


How to choose

When choosing jewelry, you should consider the following factors:

  • face oval;
  • neck shape;
  • neckline of clothing;
  • hair style.

Oval face Almost all types of neck jewelry are suitable. It doesn’t matter if the product is oval, elongated or round. You should focus more on the neckline of the clothing with which you plan to wear the accessory and your height. Small pendants and too thin chains look ridiculous on tall women, as well as necklaces with large elements on short women.


Chubby ladies
Graceful pendants and elongated necklaces are more suitable. Massive items and shortened beads under the neck should be avoided.

A good choice for owners triangular oval face there will be massive accessories, pendants, nooses. It is better to avoid jewelry with elongated and sharp elements.

Square face type Rough products with regular shapes and a horizontal orientation are not suitable. It is worth choosing elongated delicate pendants or beads. You can also combine several types of chains of different thicknesses.

Balance diamond face possible with medium-length accessories. You should not purchase products that have sharp and elongated elements.

Face with pronounced cheekbones better requires complementing with small elegant accessories. This way you can visually distract attention from problem areas. Owners of this type of oval shape should avoid massive jewelry.

Balance a long neck You can use short beads with large elements, and visually enlarge them with elongated pendants and beads of medium parameters.

When choosing, it is worth remembering that the size of the jewelry elements should correspond to the woman’s height. For petite ladies, neat accessories that do not attract all the attention are more suitable.

Equally important is the neckline.

  • In principle, any jewelry looks beautiful on a bustier, but short ones, located around the neck, are especially harmonious.
  • You need to be careful with a V-neck, because not all elongated options may be suitable. It is better to give preference to shortened chains with a pendant, the geometric shape of which follows the configuration of the neck.
  • The round neckline is combined with massive and elongated accessory options.

  • braid made of velvet or thick black satin (neck circumference plus 2 cm);
  • clasp;
  • clips for framing edges with ears in the middle;
  • chain 10 cm;
  • pendant.

The entire length of the braid can be decorated with small rhinestones or beads, and the edges can be hemmed with lace or organza braid.


Step-by-step instructions for lace decoration

For work you should prepare the following materials:

  • lace (desired length);
  • chain of the same length;
  • lock for clasp.
  • You will also need a needle and thread in the color of the lace.
  1. Connect the second chain link and the beginning of the lace with several stitches. Their size should be small so that the thread is barely visible.
  2. In the same way, sew the lace braid to the links of the chain one by one.
  3. Having reached the end, leave the last link free.
  4. Finish the end edges of the lace with small stitches so that the threads do not come out.

  • satin ribbon of bright color (width no more than 1-1.5 cm);
  • many small rings (1-1.5 cm in diameter).

It is better to take longer ribbon lengths; in addition to weaving, you will need ties of 15-20 cm on each side.

  1. Thread the ribbon into the ring.
  2. Thread the next ring onto the ribbon and wrap it around the previous ring.

  • thin chains;
  • connecting rings;
  • two connectors.

  • Opera beads, having a length of 90 cm, can be used for evening dresses (in one layer) and business suits (in two layers). Thus, one accessory will be useful and appropriate for different occasions. Moreover, a pearl product will never go out of style.
  • You should not combine chains and beads. This combination is only suitable for ethnic parties. For a special occasion or business meeting, using two different types of jewelry is not recommended.
  • If a woman believes in the power of stones and wants to have a protective amulet, there is no better jewelry with the corresponding stone. It is enough to drill a hole in the mineral and thread a satin or velvet cord through it. Even an unpolished stone will look stylish and aesthetically pleasing.
  • Short people should not wear large stones. This will put an emphasis on growth.
  • Lovers of massive jewelry should not wear several types of accessories at once. It looks tacky. It is enough to purchase one, but with large elements. Height should not be below average.
  • Jewelry looks stylish and elegant if its elements are repeated in clothing or other accessories.
  • Tall women with long necks should not choose elongated chains with pendants and medallions.
  • If the breasts are large, the level of jewelry should be higher than it. It is better to use expensive products made from natural materials.
  • Among modern decorations used in winter, fur accessories combined in binding with a string of pearls are popular. This model is suitable for both a young girl and a mature woman.

In a very unusual, but quite simple way, you can make yourself a variety of stylish wicker jewelry with your own hands from suede laces or ribbons.
Using this method, you can weave not only a necklace, but also a bracelet or a fashionable headband.

Stylish DIY wicker decoration

In order to make such a wicker necklace yourself, we will need:
  • 12 meters of suede cord (if desired, you can use ribbon, rope, beautiful thick yarn)
  • washers, rings or beads of different sizes
  • scissors
So,
  • Cut the suede (or other material of your choice) into 4 pieces of 3 meters each.
  • Connect them together with a tight knot, leaving tails of about 40 centimeters - these are the future ties of the decoration.
  • Twist the ends of each cord and secure with an elastic band - this will simplify your work by preventing the straps from getting tangled together.
  • Weave from the knot: place all 4 threads crosswise.
  • Make two vertical loops and take them in one hand.
  • With the other hand, thread horizontal threads: one under the first loop and over the second and the other vice versa.
  • Pull the resulting knot tightly.

  • Repeat these steps until you want to start threading the rings.
  • Weaving is no different, just thread a disk, ring or bead onto the bottom thread and continue weaving.
  • You can gradually switch to larger diameter fittings or make the entire wicker decoration using rings of the same size.
  • When you finish weaving, make the same knot with which it began, or untie the first one and leave the ends.

Jewelry made from inexpensive materials was originally just cheap copies of jewelry, but now costume jewelry is no longer considered a sign of bad taste.

Since the mid-twentieth century, famous designers began to create beautiful and high-quality jewelry from inexpensive materials. Then costume jewelry became more valued by fashionistas, but even today many believe that it is better not to wear anything than “glass beads glued to a plastic base.” A possible DIY neck decoration scheme is shown in the photo below.

In fact, jewelry can be very stylish, and the budget price of jewelry allows you to create even more fashionable looks. In addition, it has become popular to make bracelets, rings, and neck jewelry with your own hands.

Textile beads

Textile beads can be made from any beads (wooden, plastic, polymer clay) or a fabric “tube” can be filled with any filler, tied at regular intervals. A bracelet will go with this DIY fabric neck decoration.

For one of the options for an original decoration, you need to prepare an oblong piece of bright fabric (not only plain fabric looks great, but also with a pattern), a needle and strong thread that matches the color (embroidery thread is suitable, use at least two folds), a clasp for beads , beads of different sizes. These beads will look better if you use large beads.

If you don’t find beads of a suitable size, you can make them yourself - for example, by tearing the foil into small pieces and crushing them to make a ball.

You need to cut a strip of fabric seventy centimeters long and two times the width of a bead. Next, the fabric must be folded crosswise and stitched (stitch the needle back) so that you get a “tube” with one open end. The fabric should be turned inside out so that the seam is on the inside.

You can then begin to “stuff” the fabric “tube” with beads, securing them in place. You can fix it with ordinary threads, thin ribbons, tying neat bows between beads, small beads, passing the material through them, knots on the fabric. When the work is finished, the end of the “tunnel” needs to be sewn up and a clasp attached. The DIY decoration (jewelry) for the neck is ready.

Such textile beads can be decorated with fabric flowers or bows or lace. A suitable decoration for a delicate look for every day, for example, skinny jeans + sandals + a lace T-shirt, can be achieved by making beads from denim and decorating them with a lace flower.

Bead jewelery

A beaded necklace can be elegant and delicate, in an ethnic style or massive - there are many options, one of which will definitely suit your favorite look. For a neat beaded necklace decoration with your own hands, you will need jewelry wire (for the base) and thinner wire (for stringing beads), large beads in three pastel shades (for example, white, beige and mint), a clasp, a chain, pliers and wire cutters.

First you need to make the basis for the future wire decoration. For example, like the one in the picture.

Next, you can begin to attach the beads to the base, stringing them on a thin wire. When finishing braiding each section of the base, it is advisable to additionally secure the beads. Once the base is decorated, you can attach a chain and clasp to its edges.

You can also make a necklace with your own hands from several beaded “chains”. It is enough to take twelve pieces of thread of two colors (for example, six turquoise and six gray), lay them out in four groups of three threads of the same color and start weaving a braid.

Then you need to secure the threads well and secure them to the ends of the fastener.

Paper necklace

Paper elements can be used to make many decorative items. In addition to the fact that you can simply twist strips of paper into stars, hearts, or simply “tunnels,” the papier-mâché technique is also used. Such DIY neck decorations are often made for carnivals, photo shoots, masquerades, parties and similar entertainment events, but for every day it is better to choose something made from beads, seed beads, or fabric.

For the most ordinary decoration, you can use sheets from glossy magazines. It is enough to cut the paper into strips and twist it into tight “tunnels”. You should get about twenty-four beads or more. The number of such decorative elements depends on the length of the beads needed. They can be worn on yarn or a thin chain for jewelry. Such beads would suit, for example, a grotesque costume of a film star.

“African” beads can be made if white paper beads are painted in the manner of animal skins: apply black and white zebra stripes, spots like a giraffe or leopard, and paint completely. The beads can be of different sizes (you can vary the width and length of the paper strips) - this will be even more interesting. Ready-made paper beads can be put on “shaggy” yarn.

Crochet jewelry

Original DIY neck decorations are made from ordinary crochet yarn. Such jewelry made from melange yarn was recently presented at the Chanel fashion house.

The easiest way to make a “warm” decoration is to prepare a thick chain of white or yellow metal for the base of the decoration, a skein of yarn with decorative “grass”, which gives the products volume and lightness. The chain should be tied with a regular double crochet; from the second row, the necklace should be gradually narrowed towards the edges.

The decoration can be safely made wide - this is exactly the option that Chanel designers proposed.

Polymer clay beads

A lot of different beads, which then just need to be put on a thread, can be made from polymer clay. These are “marble” beads, and fantasy, and abstract, and “stone-like”, and seemingly wooden, and many others. You can make pumpkin beads for Halloween, beads from “candy canes” for the summer, and Christmas trees and boots for the New Year.

Gradient beads made from polymer clay look beautiful. To work, you will need baked polymer clay in two shades (green and blue, beige and orange, blue and yellow), a clay knife, glue, and cord. You need to cut one or two bars from each piece of polymer clay, cut them diagonally and combine different colors with each other. Then you need to cut the bars crosswise to make even rectangles.

The resulting rectangles must be thoroughly mixed until a uniform shade is achieved. The blanks can be dipped in coarse table salt (a texture will appear). Afterwards, use a toothpick to make neat holes so that you can then put the beads on the cord.

Then the blanks need to be baked in the oven according to the instructions for the polymer clay. The cooled elements need to be collected on a thread (a thin one can be folded twice or thrice) in the order of color transition.

Additionally, you can decorate the beads with other decorative elements.

Scotch decorations

You can even make stylish DIY decorations from tape. You will need adhesive tape of several colors, any chain for the base, a needle and scissors. One option is to connect two pieces of tape of different colors (for example, adhesive tape with a “lace” pattern and a plain turquoise, pink, light green) at a slight angle. The workpiece can be shaped, for example, into a feather, and the tape can be cut along the edge to create a fringe. Next, you need to make a hole in the top of the feather and secure the pendant to the chain. All other versions of pendants from ordinary colored tape are made according to a similar principle.

Wire jewelry

A DIY neck decoration - an original pendant that no other fashionista will definitely have - is made from wire and several beads in just one evening. It is better to take a flexible enough wire, a chain to wear a pendant, several beads of any color and size, wire cutters and pliers.

The beads will be arranged like birds' eggs in a nest, so color, size and transparency do not really matter. Even beads that look different in appearance will look beautiful. You need to connect three beads (you can place just one in a “nest”) with wire, and then wrap it around several times. What is more important here is not accuracy, but the accuracy of the turns.

After completion, you need to secure the base of the nest, make a ring so that you can thread a chain into it.

Lightning heart pendant

DIY bead jewelry for the neck is not the only option to make stylish jewelry. Even the most ordinary things can be made very beautiful and given a second life. An interesting pendant can be made even from a piece of an ordinary zipper.

The zipper needs to be unzipped so that the dog is almost at the very bottom. Next, the fastener sections must be folded in half towards the pawl. If the base of the zipper is wide, the fabric edges can be trimmed, so the pendant will look neater. The zipper must be secured in the shape of a heart with color-matched threads. Rings for the chain can be attached to the upper edges of the heart.

There are other options for a lightning heart.

Jewelry made from natural materials

Natural materials are a treasure trove for creating original jewelry. You can use shells, pasta, and “petals” of cones. You can make a very beautiful pendant if you place one or two dandelion parachutes (umbrellas) in a small transparent jar with a wooden stopper. Similar containers for pendants are sold in souvenir or handicraft stores.

  • Cut the front of the T-shirt at the collar to your desired length.
  • Cut the resulting part into strips without touching the collar itself.
  • Stretch each of them a little.
  • If desired, fold the edges and glue them in place.
