I saw a tutorial about caged beads a long time ago on pinterest, and I knew I had to try it, I hope you like the result!

Instructions

  1. Small 113657 2f2016 03 10 215200 dsc 0004

    These are the materials you will need: some beads, a pin, a ton of jumprings and a chain

  2. Small 113657 2f2016 03 10 215206 dsc 0014

    The first thing to do is to put the beads though the pin and close it

  3. Small 113657 2f2016 03 10 215214 dsc 0030

    Now let's start the cage: attach four jumprings to a central one using smaller jumprings.

    Now yoy have to start joining the jumprings in pairs. Here's the first one...

    ...the second...

    ... and the third.

  7. Small 113657 2f2016 03 10 215305 dsc 0047

    When you add the fourth one you will have a tridimensional structure. To make things easier you can use the beads as support.

  8. Small 113657 2f2016 03 10 215321 dsc 0051

    Continue adding jumprings until you cover the beads.

  9. Small 113657 2f2016 03 10 215333 dsc 0054

    And colse the cage the same way you started it, using one big jumpring and 4 small ones

    Now just add a chain and you are ready!
