Like I promised in the last post, I am back with the tutorial to make the Kolaveri necklace 😉
If you still havent hear the song or do not understand what the phrase means, click here to go back to my previous post on the Kolaveri necklace and how it was developed
*Kolaveri – translated simply means a murderous rage or even hell bent passion, or a compulsive desire to irritate, so if you would like, substitute this the word for another one, to make this necklace. You can use this technique to make any type of necklace or bracelet with scrabble tiles
Materials required
– Scrabble tiles– A candle/flame & needle
– Eye pins
– Normal glass beads
– Loop/cable chain
– Clasp
– Nose pliers
Procedure:
The process is very simple. Collect the necessary scrabble tiles to make your word. You would need an equivalent number of eye pins and beads.
1) Now heat a needle in a candle flame and poke hole in the tiles.
2) Insert an eye pin and a bead and with your pliers make a half loop.
3) Select a chain that has equally spaced loops and adda clsap at the end.
4) Now add the middle letter to the middle of the chain
5) Holding the loop with your pliers, turn the remaining wire with your hand to make a nice wrapped loop If you are making a single letter necklace you can stop now.
6) Now using the same process add the other letters to both sides of the middle letter, making sure to leave equal space between them, so that they dont clash with one another
I found it easier to do the middle first and then add other letters on both the sides. You could also do it from one side to another if you find that easier.
While looping make sure that all the tiles are facing the same directions. This is actually tricky and I put a couple of tiles in the wrong direction and had to do them over later
Thats it! It is done….Wear the necklace and show off you KOLAVERI in style …:):) LOL
I hope you found this interesting
Cheers
