Gather the Materials
The first step in building your H2O necklace is gathering all the necessary materials. Here’s what you’ll need:
- Small glass vials with corks
- A selection of colorful beads
- Alphabet letter beads spelling “H2O”
- Thin metal wire
- Jewelry chain
- Jump rings
- Jewelry pliers
Create the Water Molecule
To get started, you’ll need to create the water molecule using the glass vials and colorful beads. Follow these steps:
- Fill the glass vial with a small amount of water.
- Add a blue bead to represent the oxygen atom.
- Attach two smaller beads of a different color to represent the hydrogen atoms, one on each side of the oxygen bead.
- Seal the vial with the cork.
Assemble the Necklace
Now that you have created the water molecule pendant, it’s time to assemble your necklace. Follow these steps:
- Thread a piece of metal wire through the loop of the cork.
- Add the alphabet letter beads spelling “H2O” onto the wire.
- Loop the wire around to secure the letter beads.
- Attach a jump ring to the loop of the wire.
- Connect the jump ring to one end of the jewelry chain.
- Repeat the above steps to create additional water molecule pendants and attach them to the chain.
- Close the chain using a jump ring and secure it with the jewelry pliers.
