DIY NY cityline necklace

Pribor / Supplies :

-50ak cm žice / around 50 cm (20 inches) of wire

-klješta / pliers
-lančić / necklace chain
-2 alkice i 1 kopča / 2 little rings and 1 clasp

Žica koju sam ja koristila je debljine 0.8 mm, bez nikla. Iako je dosta čvrsta, mislim da je bolje koristiti malo deblju žicu, od 1 mm ili 1.2 mm, može i aluminijumska. Takva se za nijansu teže savija, ali je otpornija.

Žice možete naći na kotur i na meru u bilo kojoj radnji sa delovima za nakit, pozamanteriji, a skoro sam videla da ih sada ima i u kineskim tržnim centrima.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I used nickel-free 0.8mm jewelry wire. Aldo it's firm, I would reccomend you to use thicker one, 1mm or 1.2 mm. It is a  little bit harder to bend, but it is much firmer. You can buy wire online or in any supplies shop.

Prvo morate da napravite crtež po kome ćete da radite. Ne mora biti nešto posebno lep ili precizan, treba vam samo kao vodič. Nakon toga uz pomoć klješta pažljivo savijate žicu prateći crtež.

-----------------------------------------------------------

First you need to make drawing as a guideline when you bend the wire. It doesn't have to be very pretty or precise. Then you start bending wire carefully.

Ja sam koristila dva para klješta kako bi mi bilo lakše da radim, mada su i jedna sasvim dovoljna. Koristila sam špicasta klješta sa okruglim vrhom, koja su zgodnija za zaobljavanje žice i pravljenje kukica na kraju, i jedna špicasta sa ravnim vrhom, koja su zgodna za savijanje žice pod pravim uglom. Za savijanje je potrebno oko 20 minuta.

-----------------------------------------------------------

I used two kinds of pliers - one with round nose (which are good for making rounded shapes and nooses) and one with flat nose (which are good for making all sorts of angles with wire). It is easier this way, but you can use just flat ones without bigger problems, you just need some extra work on round parts. It took me about 20 minutes to finish bending.

Pošto ste napravili željeni oblik, na krajevima napravite okca koja ćete provući kroz alkicu lančića željene dužine. Višak žice moćete iseći i makazama bez problema, ukoliko nemate sečice.

----------------------------------------------------------

After you finished bending, use cutter pliers od scissors to cut of extra wire and then make loops using round nose pliers. Mesure necklace chain, and pull loop through chain and close loop.

Nakon toga, napravite prekid na sredini lančića i zakačite alkicu i kopču.

--------------------------------------------------------

After that, cut the necklace chain into two equal parts and add ring and clasp.

The end. Hope you like it!
