How To Make Pretty And Professional Feather Necklace

Making nice fine looking jewelry is not very difficult you just need to know what to buy and how to put it together. This is an explanation of how to make a very nice silver necklace with a feather on it. So here is a list of the things you are going to need.

1- Length of silver necklace as long as you would like the necklace to be

2- Two small jump rings

3- Three crimp beads with attached rings

4- A clasp set

5- One peacock mini tail

6- Two pairs of pliers

Ok so the first thing you need to do is trim the feathers quill to be just as long as the crimp bead. Put the trimmed feather stem into the crimp bead and use one of the pliers to crimp the bead and secure the feather in place. Slide the silver necklace through the loop attached to the crimp bead which has the feather in it. Attach the other two crimp beads with loops to both ends of the silver necklace. Now attach the clasp to the necklace using the jump rings. The way that you do this is by putting the loop that is now attached to one side of the necklace and one end of the clasp on to the jump ring and then close the jump ring using the pliers. Once the two ends of the necklace are attached to the two sides of the clasp you are finished.

Enjoy!

Suggestions

1- try attaching the jump rings directly to the chain

2- try different feathers and even try more than one feather

3- use larger chains and connect the feather crimp bead using a jump ring
