A completed bead necklace. If you have small pieces of old jeans left, you can make beads out of them. Denim beads go well with wood beads and leather cord. Using jeans of different colors, you will get multi-colored denim beads.

Total Time: 20 Minutes

Supplies:

denim
ruler
scissors
pen
transparent hot glue
knitting needle
leather cord and wooden beads to make a necklace

Steps:

Cut strips 4 inches long and 0.5 inch wide from denim. The number of strips is 2 times less than the number of the required beads.

Cut the strips diagonally into two equal parts - two right-angled triangles. Cut off the sharp edge.

Two diagonal pieces cut from a strip of material.

Wrap the denim triangle around a knitting needle as shown and glue the end with hot glue. Remove the denim bead from the knitting needle. Repeat this step with each denim triangle.
