Tutorial Zorya Virus necklace

Virus was a collection of unique designer jewelry Zorya and they deserve all the honor for originality. I just converted their ingenious work to BJD SD size. This design company is now history. So I took the liberty to use her idea with admiration and love and translate it into the world of BJD. But all honors go to Zorya.

You will need:
a piece of nice rope
tiny crystals beads (I used pieces of broken beads for the edge, but you will definitely have two types - one bigger and one smaller to make it look more professional.)
textile adhesive tape for gluing the rope in the places where you will cut (same color like the rope)
magnetic closure
scissors
tweezers or paean or something...
hot glue gun (full charged!)
and a sea of patience

In order not to have the carpet adhesive tape as bad to see as it is in my creation, buy a rope that will fit into the metal part with its end.


The most important thing after measuring the circumference of your doll's neck is to first tape the place on the rope that you will be cutting, otherwise the rope will unravel and it will show on the jewelry. I also apologize for the poor quality, it's just a prototype. I hope to improve it in time. Especially the part where the rope ends at the back of the clasp. The second tricky moment is gluing the crystals to the rope. I used a hot glue, but it's not the best way. I'm sure you can find some suitable instant glue or something...
The rope is glued to the metal not so good, but if you use a thinner one, you can better glue it inside the metal part (not so vissible). Like I said, this is the first version...
Of course, you can also make a black or red jewel - if you can find the material.
Enjoy!

(And sorry for my bad English.)

Edit: a narrower rope will look more natural.
