Fabric Necklace

Posted by on Feb 18, 2012 in DIY, Jewelry | One Comment
Whenever I look at something, the first thought through my head is: Can I make that out of fabric?
So with the fad of the resin pendants, I had to see if I could get a fabric background and a fabric strap. This is what I came up with.
I have been working on this pendant for a while now, I actually did the resin and it set like stone and I didn’t like it, so my daughter took a drill and broke all the resin out, you can tell by some of the scratching on the silver.

I purchased the pendant, then cut a piece of fabric to fit snug inside along the bottom. I bought the charms and with some pliers took the charm loops off. I added some beads to fill in some of the large spaces.

I followed this video tutorial on YouTube to learn how to use the Resin.

And I followed this Tutorial to do a very very thin fabric strap with the same fabric I used for the background.

Then used a crimp tube, a jump ring and added a claw closure.

I’m not sure what this finding is called, the package just says crimp beads. There lots of different styles of crimp beads.

I do know that they are used for cording, so I just figured they would work for fabric also. They are U shaped:

I stuffed the fabric in the U nice and tight:

Then take pliers and press down the side walls flat. I then add a jump ring and then a claw closure. To the other side I just add a Jump ring.

I’m pretty sure you can substitute fabric for anything, as long as you find the right fabric.
