For the appearance of a sunny spring mood, it is not necessary to wait for spring and sun, you can create it yourself.
At any time of the year, in order to change inner feelings, you need to surround yourself with things pleasing to the eye, and even better to decorate yourself.
I propose to arrange a spring surge of emotions with the help of jewelry. To do this, make a unique airy necklace of original design on your own.
The necklace will consist of two parts making up a single ensemble and connected by a lock.

We will need:

thin-nose pliers, round-nose pliers, side cutters (they are popularly called wire cutters),
ruler
dacron threads 22M, needle for beads, scissors,
fine transparent colorless beads,
bright green small short bugles,
colorless transparent beads measuring 5 mm (64 pieces) and 8 mm (7 pieces),
2 double connecting rings,
2 hats
screw lock
chain of steel color not less than 10 cm long,
2 pins ending with a loop.

The manufacturing algorithm.
1. First we will collect the side of the necklace with two rows of beads. Let's call it "part 1".
To do this, take green bugles, beads 5 mm in size - 32 pieces, dacron threads, a needle for beads, scissors and a connecting ring.

Using a ruler or by eye, measure the thread with a length equal to two lengths of the estimated length of the desired side, plus 10-15 cm. The thread should be doubled.
We fix the thread on the ring and use the bead needle to collect the thread with beads in the following order: 3 pieces of bugles (only at the very beginning once), 1 bead, 1 bugle and so on to the desired length.
All threads of the necklace will begin with 3 pieces of green bugles. This is necessary so that the necklace looks neat and symmetrical. In the future, most of the bugles will be inside the caps.
The length of the thread before the collection of the next step will be approximately 23 cm.
2. We collect the thread further and instead of 5 mm beads we use 8 mm beads - 7 pcs. Before the first of them do not wear bugles.

3. Then we place the thread with the beads in the form of a loop and thread it through the first bead of 8 mm. We continue to collect thread with beads of 5 mm in an amount of 32 pieces.

4. The last dress 3 pieces of green bugles and fix the thread on the ring.

5. For the next stage, take green bugles, transparent beads, Dacron threads, a needle for beads, a connecting ring.

We measure the thread with a double length of at least 40-45 cm and fix it on the ring.
6. We collect threads with beads.
We start all the threads with three pieces of glass beads.
There will be 9 pieces in total 31-33 cm long.
Each thread will have a different sequence of beads and glass beads, namely:
1 bugle: 1 bead, 1: 2, 1: 3, 1: 4, 1: 5, 2: 1, 3: 1, 4: 1, 5: 1.

7. Take the first part of the necklace, pin, hat, pliers, wire cutters.

8. Expand the pin ring and put on the connecting ring.
If you have a special tool for opening connecting rings of this type, then for convenience it is better to use it. It also prevents pin deformation.

9. Dress the hat on the pin.

10. Take the second part of the necklace, pin, hat, pliers and wire cutters.

We perform the same operations as with the first pin, expand its ring and put it on the connecting ring.

We put on a hat.

11. With round-nose pliers, bend the pin at an angle of about 90.

12. Using round-nose pliers and thin-nose pliers, we form a loop from the pin, while cutting off the excess part of the pin with wire cutters.

13. Repeat the previous steps with part 1.

If the caps are not tightly attached to the threads, gently crimp them with thin-nose pliers.
14. We take thin-nose pliers and a lock, unclench a ring on it and put it in a pin loop. We close the loop.

15. Take the other part of the necklace and chain. We open the pin loop, put it on the chain segment and close it using thin-nose pliers.

16. Using nippers, cut the chain to the desired length.

17. Connect the chain to the lock.

18. Pass the bead part of the necklace through the ring of the part with beads.
The necklace is ready.

The necklace turned out bright and original, conspicuous and uplifting. It will help to decorate any clothes and give its owner many pleasant minutes.
