How to make native american jewelry
Native American jewelry still lights up the eyes of so many people across our great nation. Some people wish to merely buy the beloved pieces of our past and others wish to learn how to make Native American jewelry. When making a piece of Native American Jewelry, it tends to produce a sense of pride in one’s heart because they are then getting closer to how a Native American felt so many years ago when they were making theirs. It brings a person closer to nature because most of the time, the theme that is used in Native American jewelry deals with nature, animals, and figures that resemble human beings. It is obvious that the Native Americans hold these three things in high regards because they take the time to make them, putting a bit of themselves in each piece, and now in a day and age where people are into technology; there are those few people out there that would rather revert back in time and learn how to make Native American Jewelry. To make jewelry of the Native American persuasion, you will need the following items:, shells, beads, copper, ivory, silver, turquoise. After you have what you need to make your necklace, determine the design that you wish to use for the piece of jewelry. We will use a necklace because it is fairly simple to make. Once you have found out what sort of necklace you want to make, then you need to get the bead board to find out the necklace length. A bead board is very easy to find at any arts and crafts store, or of course, Wal-Mart. Take a wire which is not very brittle and is also sufficient enough in size for the necklace, which is about twenty to twenty five inches normally. After figuring out the length of the necklace, get one of the wires in your fingers and slide it gently through the lobster claw silver clasp’s loop part. After the wire gets fixed to the clasp, slide that through the crimp bead. To make sure the end of the necklace stays in place use the made for purpose crimping pliers to crimp the bead into the wire. Snip off any excess wire so you don’t hurt your, or whoever wears the necklace, neck. String the gems and turquoise of your choice on the wire into the design you have chosen. When you have completed your necklace, take the jump bead and put it on either end of the necklace after the beads are finished being put into their proper place. Try on the new necklace by using the lobster claw to attach it to the ring. Look in the mirror and see the gorgeous piece of Native American jewelry that you have just made yourself. Congratulations on learning how to make your very own necklace, Native American style.
