You will need from Fizzy Pops:
- 20 mm black beads
- 12 mm orange beads
- 6 mm Spacer Beads
- Bottle cap pendants
- epoxy stickers
- 6mm jump rings
- lobster clasps
- crimp beads
- beading wire
First you will need to cut your wire the desired length of your necklace plus 1.5 inches on each side. My wire is 20 inches long, plus the 1.5 inches on each side, for a total of 23 inches.
Close a 6mm jump ring and slide it on the end of your wire. Loop the wire around the ring and then slide two crimp beads over both sections of wire. Use a pair of pliers to crimp the crimp beads down until they are tight and flat. You can also add an extender chain at this point, if you want to. For detailed instructions on adding an extender chain, check out the Fizzy Pops tutorial here.
After your beads are crimped. you are ready to add your necklace beads. The idea behind this necklace is to make the beads look like little Oreo Cookies with white beads sandwiched in between black ones. Here is my necklace pattern for this necklace:
Spacer Bead
Black Bead
White Bead
Black Bead
(repeated 4x)
Spacer Bead
bottle cap pendant
Spacer Bead
Spacer Bead
Black Bead
White Bead
Black Bead
(repeated 4x)
Slide a lobster clasp onto a 6mm jump ring and then close the jump ring. Slide the jump ring onto the wire and then double back the wire through the crimp beads and a couple extra of the necklace beads. Crimp the crimp beads until they are tight and then trim the excess wire.
You necklace is now ready to add the image to the center! Do a search for an image you love Pull it into a photo editing program, any program or app should be able to crop it. You want the image to print about 3/4 of an inch high. Use a 1 inch circle hole punch to punch out the image after it is printed.
Place an epoxy sticker on top of the image and rubbed the back to make sure all air bubbles were gone. Add a small amount of a strong glue (like E-6000) to the bottle cap and gently press your image with epoxy sticker to the bottle cap.
Allow the glue to dry completely before wearing.
