Funky Bohemian Spike Set Tutorial

Created by: Tiffany White

Designer Tips

Cut three pieces of 20-gauge copper wire, each 6" long.
Make a wrapped loop at one end of each wire.
For step-by-step illustrated instructions, see our blog article: DIY Funky Bohemian Turquoise Spike Jewelry Set
Choose beads, and add them to each wire.
Make a wrapped loop on the other side of each set of beads.
Dip the copper parts in Novacan to antique them.
Rinse with water and pat dry, then polish off the high points with an ULTRA polishing cloth.
For the earrings, add 5 links of chain to each side. (These chain links are unsoldered, so you can open and close them with your chain-nose pliers.)
To finish each earring, add one more link of chain, and use it to connect both chain ends to the ear wire.

To finish the necklace, add the chain to the pendant. Use approximately 30" of chain to make the pictured necklace. Or if you prefer a shorter necklace, you can add an antique copper clasp at the back.
