SILK THREAD JHUMKAS | DIY Jewellery
Accessories are always our first love, regardless of whether we be a girl or a boy. It wouldn’t be unusual to find a girls treasure chest filled with different earrings, necklaces and bracelets. Likewise, it wouldn’t be a surprise to find a guy’s drawers filled with bracelets, chains or watches. Yet, these days, with the rapidly rising prices, it is common for many to abandon their passion and love for these little things. So, how to save money but also hold on to your love? Simple! Make them yourselves. So, here is a short and simple tutorial on how to make a pair of Silk Thread Jhumka’s.
Materials:
Bead chain
Back stopper
Fabric glue
Headpins
Bead caps
Antique studs
Silk thread
Mould
Long cardboard
Bead
Cutting Plier
Round nose Plier
Method:
1. Wrap the silk thread around the cardboard a minimum of 20 to 30 times until the bunch of thread is thick enough.
2. Cut off the excess and using some fabric glue, apply it near the end and spread it using your fingers.
3. Now, cut the thread at the area where the glue was applied to get a strip of silk thread bunch that is even from the top and bottom.
4. Apply some fabric glue on the inside of the mould. Insert the thread bunch through the hole in the mould from the top, placing it on the glue applied. Apply some glue on top of the thread as well. Let it dry.
5. Once the glue has dried and the thread is stuck in place, start wrapping the thread around the mould by inserting it from the bottom and removing it from the top hole as shown.
6. Once the mould is completely covered by the silk thread, cut off the excess, apply some glue at the end and stick it in place.
7. Take a bead chain and place it around the bottom of the wrapped mould. Cut off the excess.
8. Stick the bead chain in place using some fabric glue. Let it dry.
9. Apply some glue on the top of the mould around the upper hole and place the bead cap on it. Let the glue dry so it sticks in place.
10. Insert a back stopper through a headpin. Now, insert the headpin inside the mould through the bottom. Insert a bead inside the headpin from the top.
11. Cut off the excess of the head pin using a cutting plier. Now, bend the remaining headpin using a round nose plier to form a loop.
12. Insert the antique earring through the loop. Tighten and lock the loop in place using the round nose plier.
13. Make another same Jhumki.
14. Voila! Your quilled Jhumka’s are ready to be worn.
