How to Make a Floating Illusion Necklace - Jewelry-making Tutorial
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 31 พ.ค. 2009
- This style of necklace is one of my absolute favorites. So simple and elegant!
The beads on the necklace look as if they are "floating" because the wire is hard to see. Crimp beads are used as "stoppers" so the floating beads will stay in place.
I was first introduced to this necklace style by this website: www.beadage.net/projects/illus... Thank you, Emma!
Materials list:
- Beading board (if you do not have one of these then a ruler would be sufficient)
- Beading wire (I used Accu-flex .019" size)
- Crimp beads (I used twenty-four 1.5mm round)
- Crimp covers (I used 3mm)
- Some beads (I used eleven 8mm beads)
- Clasp (I used a barrel clasp)
- Wire cutters
- Crimping pliers (or flat-nose pliers)
Sources for materials:
Beading wire, crimp beads, crimp covers, and beads are from www.firemountain.com. Clasp from www.nasco.com.

This is one of the best videos. Step by step directions, exactly what i needed. You can actually make the necklace while watching the video. Love it!
You just taught me something very important! I've read books where they say to string the wire (after attaching the clasp) back through several beads. This was always very difficult for me to do when attaching the second clasp. Now I don't have to do that anymore! Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for showing me YOUR way!
This tutorial was great for beginners such as myself. I've always adored the idea of the "floating" necklace but never able to get the "gist" of crimp beading. This was very well explained AND the fact you took your time explaining without distracting background music and/or pointless rambling made it THAT much easier for me to follow and create. You have a new subscriber for sure! Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing what other beautiful works you share.
Nice video. It's very helpful. I can't get over how some people complain about these videos. I appreciate it. I need all the help I can get, since I'm a newbie at this.
Very good tutorial. Concise but clear and easy to follow. Thank you!
Just wanted to say thank you for showing a simple design that is beautiful without to much fuss! and also want to wish you good luck with school..I know it can be rough.. I am in the same boat and wish that I could have more time to focus making more jewelry also.. god bless
Wonderful, clear and concise tut. Really appreciate none of the useless chatter we hear on other tuts.
Thank you so much, I just purchased some beads and want to learn how to get started making jewelry. Your video is so very easy to follow and understand :) Thanks again !
Wow, you made putting on crimp covers look a lot easier using crimp pliers than my jewelry teacher did.she had us using flat noise pliers for the process. I can't wait to get home and finish the necklace I started - using crimp pliers instead note. :-)
I enjoyed the video, I am just getting started, and I appreciate that you talk slowly, so people who are learning can keep up with you. Thank You!
@eclecticdesigns your level of instruction and information is excellent. please give us more. you totally rock.. thank you
you are a very good beading instructor. i like the way you break up the construction into sections.. thank you also for telling us WHAT SIZE CRIMP BEADS/COVERS to buy. please continue to provide more teaching videos. again thank you.
thank you for sharing. I'm new to jewelry making and didn't know about putting crimp covers over the crimp bead. Thank you.
Very helpful seeing the crimp beads done close up. i can now make them look much neater i wasn't shown to squeeze a second time with them so will be doing that from now onwards
thanks I've always wanted to know how this was done. You make it look so easy.
that was great you make it look very easy
step by step instructions makes it easy to follow
can't wait to try it
Great video. good lighting, easy step by step instructions. Thanks for that.
Thank you for sharing and doing it so calmly and clearly.
Your tutorial was very easy to understand for someone new to jewelry-making as I am. I really love the illusion style and would love to see any variations that you might have using it. I have subscribed to your channel and hope to see many more tutorials from you. Thank you!
Very nice to include putting covers on the crimp beads. I figured this out in my own jewelry making by just striving for a polished look and professional finish. If u look at commercially manufactured floating necklaces, well in my experience anyway, they leave the crimps bare. Soon the wearer has a scratched, irritated décolletage! Nice vid.
I so appreciate your doing this video. It was more than helpful. I do thank you very much.
THANK YOU so much for a CLEAR and easily understood video! It helped a great deal since I'm a beginner!
i remember making this as a kid with my aunt! i was trying to find a video on how to make them again and i fount it! thank you so much!
Very nice tutorial! I enjoyed it all the way! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing! Very elegant!
Very easy to follow. Your voice is easy to listen to ...the pace was great! Keep it up!
Very nice You did a great job and made it very easy to understand
Great video, good step by step instructions. Thanks for that
Thnaks for sharing this I had a great time. I enjoy making Jewelry.
if you want to put a crimp cover on all your crimps, I guess you could, you would just need to leave a little more room before and after the bead before you crimp to allow the crimp cover to sit correctly. in the video she says to leave a 1 1/2 inch space between beads. I hope this helped.
step by step....good video.....i like the calmness too :)
Love your simple yet graceful creation!
Love your tutorials! Keep them coming. Thanks!
Very Nice and thank so much for Sharin! :)
Great video!!! I always wanted to learn how to make this necklace. Now I am off and running.
Very good video very clear and easy to understand.
This tutorial was exactly what I was looking for! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the excellent detail and for sharing your expertise! You explained so clearly and provided great close-ups that I feel confident enough to now try this one myself!
really easy to follow and clear instructions ,top vid ta!!!
nicely done, now i can try to make my floating necklace again. thank you
very nice tutorial, well described and easy to fallow :D beautiful necklace as well.
Thx u...learned something new. I will have to look for crimp beads & covers next time i go to a bead supply truck or store👍😺🌠
Great video! I'm just starting out too-and wow, this looks less intimidating then what I thought jewlery making was! Thanks!
very nice video....! i liked everything about this video - specially the camera is placed at a proper position which adds to good visibility!
really very nice and well explained
If I understand what you're asking.spacing is done 1/2' from clasp then 1 1/2' between beads.The pattern is crimp bead, bead, crimp bead.When all the beads are attached you go back and attach crimp bead covers.Hope this helps.
Thank you for an easy to follow video!
Great video, superb directions and good closeup views of the detail work! I give you an A+!
Very simple and very nice! Thanks for posting this video!
Thank you very much, love this video the explaination is very clear and easy. I wish all videos could be as good as yours. Thank you for your time, going do it, blessing.
Very helpful! Thanks for making this video!!
very good job!!! very Compliments!!
thanks for explaining this so well!
Thanks for explaining this so clearly. My first effort was a three strand tourmaline small nugget necklace on monofilament wire and I turned the air blue swearing all afternoon. If you're using monofilament use the teeny 1mm crimps specially for positional crimping or the things will shift and you'll end up swearing like I did! And of course try something less ambitious first!!
I love the concept and will try it. Just think it will and would look better with crimp bead covers are all around it.
Good tutorisl I learned how to use those crimps correctly. thanks
This video is excellent! Thank you for clear video- nice slow directions. I feel confident now! :)
@eclecticdesigns
Please don't let this rude person get you down. I can't even imagine what kind of time he or she must have on their hands if they felt they JUST had to share what was an opinion that had nothing to do with content. This was one of the easier to understand tutoral on how to make this type of necklace I've come across.
Your videos are so helpful, THANK YOU!!!!
Very informative video. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for awesome instruction!
Great lesson I learned so much Thank You so much
Loved it! Very well done because now I have the confidence to try it! Thank-you:)

I love you videos. The most clear I've ever seen and easy to follow. Do you have a tutorial how to make a floating necklace with no knots?
Thank you..
good video. very helpful.
Que bonitos colllares
@madcat61207 I did have some trouble with the crimps but with practice I was able to pull together a complete piece. The beads were not perfectly spaced but I guess I just need to keep practicing!
Thanks for the video
Beautiful thank you👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️
That's nice... A floating necklace. Very,very nice. :-)
It was a very god video. Good Direction and pictures.
i don´t know y but it reminds me of the future. i think it´s because of the colours
very nice
Hello, I have one question: won't the crimp beads we have used damage the fabric of the cloth, the fishing line of the necklace, or our skin? Thanks for your answer in advance, and sharing your knowledge with us. ☺
@eclecticdesigns You're welcome.
@madcat61207 and I did have a bit of trouble witht he crimps but with practice I was able to pull togather a complete piece but the beads were not perfectly spaced. They were pretty close, but I guess I need to keep practicing.
I'm also new to beading and I love this video it's straight to the point and like how you explain the size of the crimps and covers as I'm never sure of the sizes to use. Could you put crimp covers on the crimps next to the beads?
I also like this video for that fact that there is no annoying cheesy music going on.
Sure, you could use crimp covers next to the beads. I was actually thinking of making an updated video with this floating illusion necklace idea and putting crimp covers over the crimps near the beads. Have you seen some of my latest videos? Is the music annoying with those? Always love to hear feedback on improving the quality of my videos! Thanks for your comment!
Awesome :)
Great video! Can you tell me what comparable wire I can use? Or, the details of the exact wire you used. Are you using Sterling Silver? I'd like to know what choices I have when making an illusion necklace. THANKS! :)
Lovely vidoe. Can you discribe the wire that you use? gage, and specifics and other choices. What if you use nylon? Can gold or silver be used?
