Green Zig Zag Necklace Goes to Dampalitan and Borawan Islands of Quezon Province

My green necklace matches perfectly the places I recently visited. Dampalitan Island with its pine trees planted shore and Borawan Island with plants and trees growing on the rocks.

I was able to wear the necklace the whole two days without causing inconvenience on my part. It seems I picked the right beads and materials this time. The round shape but flat surface green beads sits

perfectly in my chest, its not causing any friction at all. Happy with my creation. :)

Check the rest of my adventures at my personal/travel blog www.ladynyx14.blogspot.com
I will try to compose the article as soon as possible.

Summer is just couple of months away. What will be your summer accessory this year?

How to Tie an Adjustable Thread Knot as Lock for Necklaces and Bracelets

This is the lock of my green zig zag necklace. When I am using a necklace for swimming, I don't like any base metal findings in my accessories to avoid skin allergy specially near neck area. 

This adjustable thread knot could be use to bracelets, as well. 

Tutorial:

1. Work with thread facing you this way. You won't move the left thread. Only the right thread will be moving.

2. Move right thread under left thread.

3. Now, the same right thread must be above the left thread.

4. The right thread is now back to the right side. Place it under right thread.

5. Pull right thread to the middle. Place right thread above the same right thread, then under the same right thread at the bottom part nearest you.

6. Pull together to close. The left thread will be the part moving here coz you keep it straight all throughout the process. Try pulling the left part thread to loosen and tighten your necklaces and bracelets.

Zig Zag Necklace Design

This is the necklace I made (rushed) for my Dampalitan/Borawan Islands trip.

I knew we will be swimming in sea water and so I need one that is not made of metal. The Monaco crochet thread is perfect for this necklace. I want one I could wear all throughout my trip. 

Materials/Instructions:

1. Get beads with holes near at one side (not in the middle) to get this zig zag design.

2. Smaller beads. I choose cats eye coz it doesn't fade easily, its smooth and it won't be affected by sweat. 

3. Black Monaco crochet thread. 

4. Place cats eye beads on the thread.

5. Tie both ends.

6. Place your primary beads. Decide how long it will be. Mine was bigger coz I want to emphasize it when I wear it.

7. Tie to close.

Valentines Day Bracelets

One more week and its Valentines Day. Not sure if I will have a romantic Vday date this year but just in case, better ready my outfit which includes this beautiful, hand-made stretchable red bracelets. I made three bracelets from one string of beads and with just nylon and spacers, I was able to complete this set. 

So ladies, like me, wear your cutest dress, slip those red high heel stiletto shoes, swipe a vamp lipstick, grab a delicate pouch and wear this uber red bead bracelets. 

On a Valentine's day, with or without a romantic date, be at your best.
