Making a golden cowrie shell necklace is one of the best ways to flaunt

will need is some easily available things which we have listed below-
What You Need:

(optional); look for spacer beads with large holes
- Glue
Let’s get started:
Following the
steps mentioned below can help you make a beautiful shell necklace that looks
elegant and pricey. So, if you want one for yourself, then have a look at the
steps-
- Take 15-20 shells and
paint it according to your wish, in a well-ventilated area. Make sure to
flip and spray the other side of the shell, once one side is completely
dry. Repeat this process a few times, so that the paints nicely stick to
the shells.
- Also, to protect your
hands and other body parts from paint, apply some lotions and creams on
it, which will help you remove the paint after it dries.
- Now that the twine or
bead cord and measure the length you want for your necklace. Double the
length and stick the two ends with glue.
- Take the glue again
and carefully place the shells and beads on the twine, the way you want to
make your necklace.
- Once you are done with
the placing, stick it nicely with glue. Keep it aside and let it dry. You
can also thread the shells and beads with a needle.
- At last, tie both the
ends of the necklace tight enough that the shells do not fall off.
- If you are feeling
extra crafty, then you can also make a choker with the help of a ribbon
instead of the bead cord or twine.
And that’s
it. This is all you have to do to make a stylish, trendy jewellery piece
without wasting any money.
