 LESSON 1. METHODS AND PROCEDURES/TECHNIQUES IN MAKING
FASHION ACCESSORY PROJECTS/PRODUCTS

Are you ready to start your project? But you need to know first what
are the different techniques in making fashion accessories before you start
your own product or project.

A. Techniques

WIRING

1. As shown here in the first picture. This

demonstrates how to hold your pliers
so that your control is good.

Completed Bead wires.

1. Cut a length of wire approximately 1
in (25 cm) longer in length than the
beads to be threaded.

2. Secure one end of the wire in a pair

of round-nose pliers, and carefully
bend the wire to create a loop.

3. Thread the beads into the wire,

pushing them up to the looped end
of the wire.

4. Secure one end of the wire in a pair

of round-nosed pliers, and carefully
bend the wire to create a loop.

WIRING A DOUGHNUT
1. To wire a donut or something similar,
cut your wire similar proportion to those
shown in the picture.

2. Fold the wire through the donut,

leaving one end longer the other.

3. Roll the short end to make a loop. Then

wrap the longer end around the bottom
of the loop.

4. Keep wrapping this wire until you have

several neat coils, then clip the end
and gently press the top oil in with your
pliers to make it neat.
KNOTTING BETWEEN THE BEADS- To make sure the knot is close to your
beads, put a needle out when the knot back towards the beads with the needle,
and gently pull the needle out when the knot is sitting next to the beads.

1. To knot between beads, you need to

allow approximately twice as much
thread as the length of your finished
necklace.

2. The needle of course, is dependent on

the size of your beads and the number
of knots, and you should allow even
more thread if you are going to have a
lot of knots, as it is easier to cut off the
excess than to have to re knot due to
lack of thread

3. Use a needle in the knots between

beads so that all your spacing is even.
MAKING A HOOK

1. To make a hook, cut a few millimetres

of wire.

2. File one end, and turn a loop in this

end.

3. Now curve the wire back around your

pliers and clip off any excess wire.

4. Bend up the end of this wire to make a

good shape, and file this end too.
DOUBLE KNOTTING OF THE BEADS is used if you have bigger or larger holes
you can make double knots to go between them

1. Wrap the thread loosely twice around

your finger.

2. Gently slide off the thread keeping the

loops in place.

3. Put the needle in the loop in the same

way as the single knot, and tighten.

Beading
1. To work your beads as shown on the
opposite picture, use two threads and two
needles, and put the three threads either
side of the long beads, so that they cross
in the middle

2. Bring the needle back out of the beads,

thread a bead or several beads between
them, and then thread into the next bead
from either side. Keep working in this way.

BRAIDING THE ENDS- if you have a few special beads, another way to finish
them is to braid the ends. The technique that we have used is a simple macrame
technique.

1. You need three strands , either single

or double. When your strands are
ready, leave the middle one in lace and
work the leaft-hand strand under the
middle and over the right-strand.
2. Work the right-hand strand over the
middle and under the left-hand strand.
Continue in this way as the braid
builds.

3. You can knot the ends or add a

fastener, and braid back over the ends
that attach the fastener.

COILING A HOOK AND LOOP FASTENING

1. Cut a length of wire approximately 12

in. (30 cm) in length. Using a pair of
round-nosed pliers, coil the wire,
starting from the bottom of the pliers,
and work upward.
2. Using the flat-nosed pliers, bend the
excess wire at 90 degrees.

3. With the round-nosed pliers, bend the

wire over, forming a loop.

4. Using the tips f the round-nosed pliers,

bend the wire back on itself, forming a
hook.

5. Take the flat- nosed pliers, and

carefully manipulate the bent wire so
that it follows the first wire.
6. When the wire is satisfactorily bent, cut
off the excess wire with a pair of wire
snips, and tuck the end discreetly into
the coil.

7. At the opposite and wider end of the

coil, used the flat-nosed pliers to bend
the very last coil in half at 90 degrees,
again making sure the end of the wire
is tucked into the coil itself. This forms
the mechanism by which the fastener is
connected to the necklace.

TWISTING A WIRE

1. With the wire snips, cut two equal 48 in

(120 cm) lengths of wire and bend
them both in half. Secure the ends in a
vice. Take a hook piece of wire, which
is fastened into a drill and hook into the
looped end of the bent wires.

2. Turn the hand drill to make the wires

twist together. It is important to turn the
drill slowly to allow the wires to twist
together evenly.
3. Continue to turn the drill until the wires
are tightly, and evenly twisted together
along the length of the wire. You can
choose how loosely or tightly twisted
you want your wire to be.

4. Remove the twisted wires from the vice

and drill. Using the wire snips, cut off
the looped end, so that you are left with
an even length of wire.

5. Secure a circular rod, and one end of

the twisted wire around the rod.

6. Continue to bend the twisted wire

around the rod until all of the wire has
been used, and the wires have formed
a coil.
1. Cut a piece of wire approximately 10 in
(25 cm) in length. Using a pair of
round-nosed pliers, coil the wire,
starting from the bottom of the pliers
and working upward.

2. Continue to coil the wire along the

length of the nose of the pliers, keeping
the growing coil tight and even.

3. Remove the tapering coil from the

pliers, and use the excess straight wire
to form a loop.

4. The loop is created by bending the wire

over on itself, and tucking the end into
the coil. This forms the fastening
mechanism
5. At the opposite and wider end of the
coil, use the flat-nosed pliers to bend
the very last coil in half at 90 degrees,
again making sure that the end of the
wire is tucked into the coil. This forms
the mechanism by which the fastener is
connected to the necklace or bracelet.

ATTACHING A FASTENER is an appropriate way of finishing a necklace, knots

are used to attach fasteners.

1. To do this make a single knot next to

your beads, and leave a needle in it.

2. Put on your fasteners, leaving space

for more knots between it, and the
knot, with the needle in it. Then put the
knots into this space, remembering
how many you have used, and how
much space you left, so that you can
duplicate on the other side
3. When you made these knots, put your
thread into the needle that you left in
the knot, and pull the needle through to
tighten everything.

4. Either put a drop of glue into the last

knot, and cut off your loose thread, or if
you have large enough holes, thread
back into your beads

A. EARRINGS

Women, Men & Earring Fashion

Both sexes wear earrings in most countries, but in the West the
practice is sometimes deemed effeminate for men. But earrings became
almost obsolete for women during the Middle Ages in Europe because they
were overshadowed by gigantic hats, towering wigs and high collars. In the
16th and 17th centuries, however, lower necklines and more subdued
hairstyles brought earrings back in vogue, allowing jewelers and talented
craftsmen to sell gold earrings to the upper classes, who could display their
wealth in the jewelry they wore.
Earrings Today
By the 1970s, some people were wearing more than one set of
earrings at a time, with multiple piercings, in all areas of the outer ear, not just
the lobes. Styles and materials continued to multiply, reflecting the changes
in cultural attitudes of the latter years of the 20th century.
Gold earrings have remained a stable of the woman’s jewelry box,
because they’re versatile and can be worn with almost any color or clothing
style, from casual to formal. Since ancient times, gold jewelry has been
considered classic and essential to the wardrobe. Jewelers continue to sell
gold earrings as gifts, basics and special pieces.

TYPES OF EARRINGS

Stud Earrings are the most simple of all

earrings. They can be diamonds,
gemstones, pearls, gold or silver balls that
are on a metal rod that stick through the
ear lobe, with a small backing to secure
them. These are usually the starter
earrings that everyone gets when you first
get your ears pierced. Simple and
classic… They never go out of style!

Hoop Earrings are also a classic style

that never seem to go out of fashion. They
are a loop shape that goes through the ear
lobe and hooks in the back.

Drop Earrings is a lovely earrings, which

dangle off the ear… these earrings usually
hang off a fish hook, or they dangle down
from a lever back. These can include
chandelier type earrings, which have
different lengths dangling down off the ear.
They can include metal, silver, gold, and
have gemstones dropping down.
Types of Earring Backs is a list of the types of earring backings that help secure the
earring on your ear. Some are stronger than others, and some have screw on backs, to
prevent loss of your favorite and cherished jewelry.

Fish Hook is curved like a hook, that goes

through the ear. It’s long enough that it
normally doesn’t have a backing.

Screw Back is a more secure stud earring

backing, as compared to the one that just
slides on the post. The backing screws in
on the post, and usually takes a little
longer to put on your ears, but then you
don’t have to worry about losing your
earrings.

Lever Back - The back is curved like a fish

hook with an enclosure that latches behind
the ear. Advantages of this type of earring
backing is having it secure on your ear, so
you won’t have a chance of losing it.

French Back has a post that goes through

a loop in the back, also sometimes called
the ―Omega‖ Backing.

Latch Back is a hinged backing, usually

on hoops that the post goes through.

Push Back is the most common earring

backing. It is also sometimes called a
―butterfly‖ back because of it’s shape. It
just slides on the post behind your ear
lobe.
 Let’s Do It!

Read the procedure and prepare the tools and materials you need.

Things You’ll Need:

1. Chain nose (round nose) pliers

PROJECT # 1 2. Beading wire cutters
3. Needle nose pliers
HANGING EARRINGS 4. Head pins
5. Earring hooks
6. Jump Rings
7. Beads
Procedure

1. Select your beads and gather the

earring hooks, head pins, needle
nose and chain nose pliers. These
tools and materials are all
essential. See the picture for
further detail.

2. Arrange the beads the way you

would like them, placing the bead
you would like at the bottom on first
and so on.
3. With your pliers, bend the excess
head pin over 90 degrees on both
earrings.

4. With the steel cutting pliers, cut off

the pin until it is only 1 cm long.
Alternatively, attempt the "Jump
Ring" Technique below:

Jump Ring Technique

1. Follow instructions 1 to 3 as above, but skip step 4 by not cutting the pin yet.

2. Bend the head pin all the way around, then wrap it several times around the
pin whre it just comes out of the bead. Cut the excess and tuck the end in so
that the it does not stick out. This creates a closed secure loop.

3. Open a ―jump ring‖ (basically a circle of wire that's not entirely closed) and
slide on the head pin with beads and the earring hook. Close the jump ring
securely.

4. When opening a jump ring, do not pull the ends apart directly away from
each other (such that they are still in the same plane); this weakens the
ring.Instead, slide one end past the other (perpendicular to the plane of the
ring) to open, and slide back in the same manner to close.

5. Get your earring hook and with the

chain nose pliers, bend the head pin
around in a circle. Notice in the
picture that the pins are not bent all
the way around.
6. Slide the hook onto the half bent pin
and then bend the pin all the way
around so there is no way the hook
can slip off and earring fall apart.

Congratulations! You have crafted your

first handmade earrings!
