Let's see how you can make jewelry yourself. For beginners, this idea may seem complicated. However, in fact, in order to make a simple accessory, you do not even need special tools, although a minimum set is needed. So, about everything in order.

Preparation of tools and materials

1. Handles and pencils are required to translate a pattern or draw a diagram of the future product.
2. Scissors, tweezers, needles of different thickness, ruler, and also sometimes you may need a compass.
3. Materials. It can be ribbons, beads, fabric, soutache, etc. It all depends on the technique in which your product will be made. Be sure to store strong threads of white and monofilament.
4. Glue. Here, too, the options are different. This can be a regular clerical pencil, maybe "Moment" (remember that "Moment-crystal" after drying is completely transparent), maybe PVA, or maybe a hot gun.
5. The basis for decorating your own hands. For beginners, this can be simple rubber or zakolochki. All such accessories are also sold in fabric stores.

Kanzashi, or decorating yourself for beginners from tapes

Kanzashi is a type of hobby that is gaining popularity in recent times. The essence of this kind of handicrafts is the following: by means of petals made of squares of fabric or satin ribbons, very original floral compositions are created. It is quite easy to master Kanzashi, because at the heart of this craft there are only two kinds of petals:

1. acute;
2. round.

All the rest is just a variation on the topic. From these two petals, needlewomen and handymen from all over the world have learned to create real masterpieces. Ornaments with their own hands for beginners in this technique are done quickly, and, very importantly, it is almost immediately apparent what will happen in the end. Kanzashi technique is used both for making hairpins, and for decorating Christmas balls.

Sewing embroidery

Once a very long time, this technique of embroidery was used only to decorate clothes, today the same cords have found their use in creating very beautiful jewelry.

The merits of this kind of creativity include:

1. A relatively small list of necessary tools (needle, scissors and glue).
2. Availability of materials. Sewing cords can be purchased at any fabric store, and their cost in many regions does not exceed 8-10 rubles. Per meter.
3. The complete absence of any rules and standards, although if you create jewelry yourself, for beginners, photos are the best help to understand the essence of working with this material.

Decorating with beads cord and beads, experimenting with color and texture, forcing the suture cord to bend, you will receive a new decoration each time.

Accessories made of fabric

What else can you do jewelry yourself? For beginners - from the fabric. Although this is somewhat more complicated than the previous version.

However, here everything depends on the chosen technique. So, for example, you can create an elegant hairpin from a beautiful flap, in Kansas technique. The only difficulty is slicing perfectly flat squares - the base of the petal. In addition, from the fabric can be made jewelry, using the guilloche technique, or, as it is also called, burning through the fabric. These are the simplest ways to create jewelry. Many masters also use tools such as bullets in their work. They are quite expensive, but the result achieved with their help exceeds all expectations. This effect is achieved through special treatment of tissue. This can be done with gelatin or with PVA glue or a special compound. The treated fabric, exposed to the bitterness of the goblet, takes on the form conceived by the master, and as a result, amazing flowers and leaves are obtained, and if the fabric is additionally dyed, you can achieve greater similarity to fresh flowers.

The only drawback of jewelry made of fabric, made with tools, is seasonality. You can not wear air flowers under outerwear.

Beading

Beading is a fertile soil for beginners.

Try to make such jewelry yourself. For beginners from beads, you can choose many options. They do not even require huge financial costs, unless, of course, you want to learn on Japanese beads, which are considered to be the best in the world. Ornaments can be completely different depending on the color of the source material and the weaving technique. Recently, beaded bundles have become very fashionable, most often they can be found in offices for businesswomen.

Molding of polymer clay

Another popular type of needlework is the modeling of thermoplastic. Another great idea from the category "Jewelry with their own hands (for beginners)." From polymer clay to make products quite simply, but the rich color scale of the material, as well as the ability to combine colors, make transitions will revitalize even the most unpretentious beads. And if in a tone to them you will make also an exclusive pendant ?! Agree, it is tempting. At the same time, you can be sure that no one will have such an ornament, since even the same master who performs two identical products according to the same pattern / pattern will never make two absolutely identical versions.

Ornaments for the beginners: a master class

We talked a lot about techniques, now we propose to start practice.

We will make a brooch / hairpin "Aster" from such material as fameiran (in the people is also called artificial suede or foma).

Necessary materials

1. Foamiran of any color for the petals and yellow for the middle.
2. Glue. You can use hot glue, but only if you already have some experience with it, because the hot melt glazes very quickly, and it will be impossible to change the position of the petals. Glue "Moment" (we recommend using the "Moment-Crystal", as it does not leave stains and remains transparent when it dries).
3. Ruler, scissors and - a very important tool - a toothpick. We need it in order to start forming a flower.

Completing of the work

We cut the fom into strips. Two yellow strips 1.5 cm wide and 2 centimeters long for the middle. And six strips of your chosen color in width from 2,5 centimeters to 5,5 centimeters. Step 0.5 centimeter. We cut the forehead across, but do not cut through to the end, we do, so to speak, fringe. The width of one fringe is about 5 mm. We sharpen the tip of each fringe.

Further - the most interesting. Foamiran is a material that changes its shape under temperature treatment. Therefore, we apply each fringe strip to the iron for a few seconds. You will understand that the processing time has expired, when you see how the stripes begin to bend. After the heat treatment is finished turn off the iron and proceed to assembly. In order to be convenient to collect a flower, we will need a toothpick.

So, on the toothpick we put a drop of glue and quickly, until it withered, start wrapping our base with the narrowest strip of yellow fonirane. A toothpick in this case will be just a handle, for which we will keep the flower in the process of work, in the finished product it will not be visible.

Watch out for all the "fringe" was directed to the center of the future flower. After you have wound the first strip, the second one is in play. We wind it, as well as the first one, make sure that the "fringe" looks at the center of the flower. Do not forget to smear the streak of fomiran as you scrape the toothpick with glue. The next strip, it will be 2.5 centimeters wide, we glue in the same way, but all subsequent glues so that the "fringe" looks outward.

Due to this the flower will turn out lush and alive. Actually, that's all. Similarly, you can make an astra and a tissue.

After the flower is ready, you can cut off the unnecessary toothpick now, close the base of the finished product with a circle of fameirana, either of the same color or green, if you decorate your work with green leaves or other decor elements. Do not forget to also stick the base-hairpin. By the way, in the furniture stores you can buy a base, combining two types of fastening: a brooch and a hairpin.

As you can see, it's not difficult to make jewelry yourself for beginners - there would be a desire.
