Whip up this simple little unit weave that can be put together to make up earrings, necklace, bracelet or pendant.
First created by Red Panda, this is a fun project that will allow you to maille up a new project in just minutes.
Suggested Supplies List (1 Unit):
1.2mmx3.50mmID Bright Aluminium Jump Rings x 16
1.2mmx9.50mmID Bright Aluminium Jump Rings x 1
1.6mmx1/4"(6.35mm)ID EPDM Jump Rings x 8
2 pairs of pliers (any combination of chain, flat or bent nose)
Before you begin Close 9.50mmID ring. Open the rest.
Begin by wrapping one ofyour EPDM around your large ring. Hold it there.
Thread one of your opened small rings through both sides of the EPDM ring capturing it in place. Close this ring.
Repeat with a second small ring.
Take up another EPDM ring and fold it around your large jump ring. Hold it there.
Thread one of your opened small rings and feed it through both sides of the EPDM rings. Close this ring and repeat with a second ring.
Continue as above until you have completed the unit.
What you do with these units is up to you.
Here we strung three of the units together and then added a 2-1-2 chain to make up this necklace. We used the same rings to make the necklace that was used in the units.
Or you can simply add an ear wire to have a cute pair of earrings.
