How to Make a Bohemian Style Necklace: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you looking for a fun and creative DIY project? Look no further! In this tutorial, I will show you how to make your very own bohemian style necklace. This unique and stylish accessory is perfect for adding a touch of boho chic to any outfit. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced crafter, you can easily follow along and create your own beautiful necklace. So, let's dive in and get started!

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials you will need for this project. Here's a list of what you'll need:

1. 30 beads with large enough holes to fit a yarn needle through
2. A yarn needle
3. A button
4. Size E crochet hook
5. Scissors
6. Worsted weight yarn (I recommend Lion Brand's Easy Twist)

Now that we have everything we need, let's move on to the first step.

Step 1: Threading the Beads

To start, thread your yarn needle with the yarn. If you're having trouble threading the needle, try wrapping a small piece of paper around the yarn and then threading the paper through the needle. Once your needle is threaded, slide all 30 beads onto the yarn.

Step 2: Creating the Buttonhole

The next step is to create a buttonhole. Make a slip knot with the yarn and then chain 9. Once you have chained 9, slip stitch into the first chain to create a loop. This loop will serve as the buttonhole for your necklace.

Step 3: Adding the First Strand

Now it's time to start adding the strands to your necklace. Chain 31 and then slide a bead up the yarn. To attach the bead, pull the loop on your hook through the bead and then complete the next chain. Repeat this process until you have a total of 8 beads on the strand.

Step 4: Adding Subsequent Strands

Continue adding strands to your necklace by repeating the chain and bead attachment process. For each new strand, chain 31 and add 7 beads. Repeat this pattern until you have a total of 3 strands.

Step 5: Creating the Button Mount

To create the button mount, chain 28 for the fourth strand of the necklace. Then, add beads as before, chaining 8 and adding a bead until you have a total of 6 beads on the strand. Finally, chain 31 to complete the strand.

Once all the strands are complete, it's important to lay out your necklace and make sure none of the strands are twisted or braided together. This will ensure a clean and polished look for your necklace.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

To finish off your necklace, attach the button by sewing it onto the button mount. Use a needle and yarn to sew the button securely in place. Once the button is attached, weave in any loose ends and trim excess yarn. If desired, you can also use a small amount of hot glue to secure the beads in place for a more polished look.

And there you have it - your very own bohemian style necklace is complete! Now you can proudly wear your handmade creation and show off your crafting skills.

Conclusion

Making your own bohemian style necklace is a fun and rewarding project. With just a few simple steps, you can create a unique accessory that adds a touch of boho beauty to any outfit. So gather your materials and get creative!
