Different Types Of Recycled Necklaces

Video Transcript

Hi, I'm Jason. Today I'm filming on behalf of ExpertVillage.com. I'm making a necklace out of recycled materials. We've got beads from a coax cable. A charm that used to have cross bones on it, that was given to me. We've got wire that possible came from a phone line. The clasp that we got from a paper clip. We've tied a knot in the wire on the end of the clasp.Now next, the next step you want to do is decide whether you want you want your beads to move freely on the wire, if you want them kept in place. That decision is all up to you. These, if you want them kept in place, and you want them in the middle of the necklace, you're going to have to determine where the middle is going to be. By doing that it takes a little more than just putting it out on the table, and measuring the middle. It's not going to end up that way. You've got about an eighth of an inch with this charm, that will be taken up. Plus, you've also got a knot to tie in the end still. So approximately another eighth of an inch. You're going to want to move about a quarter of an inch maybe even a half of an inch of the wire, and that will be the excess to the knot that has not been tied yet. That will be your center, with your marker since this is just white, mark the center on the wire so you know where it is. It doesn't have to be exact. You'll be able to move it a little bit once it's in place, but you need to at least have a starting point. Otherwise, your necklace will be sitting clear over here, or the clasp will be clear over on one side of your neck. So next I will show you how to keep beads in place, if you want them in place, or let them move along freely on the wire.
