Method to make a pearl phone jewel

1. For it take a nylon thread with a length of 60 to 70 cm for a bracelet, because it all depends on whether you have big hands. Extend this length by the same amount if you prefer a pearl phone necklace.
2. Next, determine a dominant color (here for example the pale pink) combined with two other colors (light gray and black) as well as square-shaped golden metal charm beads and trendy round porcelain beads with their little black stars on a white background.
3. To start the bracelet (which you will have previously blocked on one side by making an easy-to-undo knot), choose a first pearl golden cube and create a "suite" of beads: 5 pink Heishi beads, 1 black Heishi bead, 3 gray Heishi beads. Between the suites, insert from time to time a round porcelain bead and a golden square bead.
4. On one side of the bracelet, enjoy alphabet beads to write a message, this is the real trend of the moment, then take your series of Heishi beads and close the bracelet or the telephone necklace by ironing the thread in the very first bead.
5. Make a 1^isnode, leave some space (2 to 3 cm) and make a 2^and node very tight that you can consolidate with a dot of glue (or transparent nail polish).
