Make a Beaded DIY Triangle Necklace

There’s something so eye-catching about triangular shapes and details. Inspired by my Chic Copper Triangle DIY Garland (one of my absolute favorites), this DIY triangle necklace uses ordinary beads in a simple yet offbeat way. This tutorial also provides awesome practice for beginner jewelry makers!

BEADED DIY TRIANGLE NECKLACE SUPPLIES:

  • Darice 4mm Rose Gold Smooth Beads (270 total/3 packs of 90 beads)
  • Darice 22 Gauge Sterling Silver Plated Copper Wire in Rose Gold
  • Round Nose 3 in 1 Pliers with Cutter
  • Darice Nylon-Coated Tiger Tail Jewelry Wire
  • Darice 2mm Rose Gold Crimp Tubes (2)
  • Darice 12mm Rose Gold Lobster Clasp (1)
  • Darice 8mm 20 Gauge Rose Gold Jump Ring (1)

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-101Step one. Use the cutting portion of the jewelry pliers to cut a strand of jewelry wire measuring at least 20 inches long.

Step two. At one end, add a crimp tube, followed by a jewelry clasp.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-03Step three. Insert the last 1 inch of the wire back through the crimp tube.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-04Step four. Using the flat portion of the pliers, firmly flatten the crimp tube to secure.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-05The crimp tube should be completely flat, securing the wire in place.

Step five. Begin adding beads to the wire. The extra 1 inch should be inserted through the beads as well.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-07Step six. Continue adding beads for about 7 inches.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-08Step seven. Using the cutting portion of the pliers, cut a 1 1/2 inch strand of rose gold 22 gauge wire. This length will give you more than enough wire to work with.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-09Step eight. Using the needle-nosed ends, create a loop at one end of the rose gold wire. This can be done by holding one end of the wire with the pliers and wrapping the rest around the needle nose.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-10Step nine. Add 4 rose gold beads.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-11Step ten. Trim the wire, leaving about 1/2 inch.

Step eleven. Create another loop at the opposite end. This completes one beaded connector.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-13Step twelve. Repeat steps 7-11 five more times. Your should have a total of 6 beaded connectors.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-14Step thirteen. With the pliers, open up the loop at one end of one connector. Attach it to one end of another connector.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-15Step fourteen. Close the open loop.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-16Step fifteen. Add the end of the first connector directly to the jewelry wire, right where you left off.

Step sixteen. Add five more rose gold beads to the jewelry wire.

Step seventeen. Add the end of the second beaded connector to the jewelry wire, creating a triangular shape. Next, add one bead to the jewelry wire.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-3Step eighteen. Repeat steps 13-17 with the next two beaded connectors, making a second triangle.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-4 Step nineteen. Repeat once more with the last two beaded connectors, for the third and final triangle.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-22Step twenty. Continue adding another 7 inches of beads along the jewelry wire.

Step twenty-one. Add a crimp tube, followed by an 8mm jump ring.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-24Step twenty-two. Insert the end of the wire back through the crimp tube and through the last few round beads.

Step twenty-three. With the pliers, flatten the crimp tube.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-26Step twenty-four. Trim away any excess wire.

DIY-Triangle-Necklace-Beaded-Darice-27Tip: For extra security for your DIY triangle necklace, place a dab of clear nail polish on the crimp tube.

Now you’re ready to rock n’ roll in your new edgy DIY triangle necklace. Enjoy!
