Very large and very bright - necklaces should be like that now. And best of all, you can make them yourself!

DRAWING LESSONS
We buy a set of colored pencils, drill holes in them and fix them on a chain - an unusual necklace is ready!
YOU WILL NEED: pack of 24 colored pencils (only 17 pencils are used for the necklace), leather cords in 3 different colors, approx. 1 m, 2 mm thick, thin felt-tip pen, twisted threads, a chain 55 cm long, 7 mm thick, 2 rings with cuts to dia. 1 cm, transparent varnish in aerosol packaging, fine sandpaper, drill.
HOW TO MAKE: put 17 pencils out of the box in a row and grease at both ends with glue so that they do not slip. Mark with a felt-tip pen at a distance of 8 cm from the end of the upper pencil and at a distance of 5 cm from the end of the lower pencil. Between these points on the ruler with a felt pen draw a line for sawing pencils. Get the pencils out of the row, but first write down the arrangement of their colors. Saw the pencils, clean the saw cuts with sandpaper. At a distance of 1 cm from the saw and from the end of the pencil, drill 1 hole for twisted threads. Coat the pencils with varnish (to preserve their paint). Allow to dry completely.
Fold the pencils, starting with the long parts and ending with the short ones; watch for the arrangement of the flowers. Cut off twisted threads approx. 40 cm. Spray the ends of the thread with varnish so that they do not open. Pass one end of the thread through the hole of the pointed end, the other end through the hole of the straight end. First, tie the ends of the thread loosely. Extend one leather cord crosswise through the connected ends of the pencils. Tie the ends in a knot. Pull the thread tight and tie it tightly in a knot. Pull the third leather cord through the saw cuts (as shown in the photo), at the same time start from the bottom, draw the cord alternately under and above the pencils, lay around the upper pencil and braid again to the lower edge. Tie the ends of the cords tightly with a knot. Rings connect the top of the leather weaves and the ends of the chain.

Allow to dry completely. Remove the pendants from the molds. On a large suspension in the middle, from front to back, drill a hole. On small and medium pendants, 3 cm below the top right edge, drill holes from one side to the other.
String the small pendants on the wire, on both sides of the pendants on the length of 9 cm string the beads (beads). Bite the wire at a distance of 4 cm above the beads. Silk ribbons cut into 2 identical parts. Connect the thread of 2 ribbons of different colors, thread into the clasps of the chain and tie it tightly in knots. The ends of the chains to fix on the nodes and again lead through the upper beads. Pull chain fasteners through knots. Tie the other ends of the ribbons with knots, thread through 1 bead and tie them in knots again. Pull the remaining wire through the lower holes on the middle and small pendants.

Attach the split ring to the lower ball. Loop a leather cord approx. 6 cm through a large pendant, string on the ends of the ribbons and tighten the fasteners. Attach the slit ring to the loop fastener

Next, cut the silver cord into 4 identical parts. Pass the end of each piece of cord into the last bundle of yarn and sew in the shape of a ring. Insert the seam inside the knot and sew it with a few hidden stitches. The remaining parts of the cord also lay in rings inside the previous rings and sew.
