Heyyy y'all! Hope you guys are doing good. So, my lady friend's birthday is tomorrow, and I have recently (with a LOT of begging) convinced my parents to buy wooden beads for me!!! I'm so excited, and now I'm gonna make Percy Jackson necklaces for both of us!! I hope she likes it, though.
So, if you want to make it, here's what you CAN do:
Materials:
Piece of String
10 plain wooden beads (I took ten because of two necklaces)
Paintbrush
Paint
Colours[The diamond and Seashell are optional. I like, so I put. If you no like, you no have to put.]
Okay! Let's start!!
Take a bead (again, in my case two beads=double the work) and paint it black.
And yes, it IS black, not dark green. Sorry it looks bad, but hey! I'm not an artist, anyways. Now, wait for it to dry.
Dried?
Cool. Now take two more beads, and colour them white.
Let 'em dry, Let 'em dry,
Let 'em dry, Let 'em dry,
Whisper words of wisdom,
Let 'em dryyyyAhem. Okay, after that, repeat the process until you have Black, White, Light blue, Red, and Dark blue beads ready.
So, now. The most toughest work of them all.
The logo designing.
*SIGH* here we go, then I suppose.
So, starting off with Percy's first year at CHB- The claiming. So, draw a trident in light blue-green or something. IDK how to make that, but I'll try. For my friend. So, yeah! It kinda got off like this:
Oh my gods this was honestly better than I expected. Okay, so, next, let it dry as well. Now, take the white beads, and draw a sheep on it, (IDK) like this, ig? :
It looks so BEAUTIFUL OH MY GODSSSSSSS I LOVE IT. okay, anyways, yay! So, next is a bow and arrow for the Titan's curse. Kinda like this:
I don't really like this one, but oh well. You lose some you win some. Anyways, next is the labyrinth. HORRIBLE. Like this, ig:
HOLY FUCK. I'M AN ARTIST IN DIGUISE. AhEm. Now, for the last beads, (or bead, idk anymore) Draw the empire state building. Like this:
Now, Its time to put all of them together!! So, for the first necklace, I've put the diamond, for my friend. And in the second necklace, I've put a sea-green seashell. For me. :) Cuz I am Percy and she is Annabeth- IF ANY OF YOU DARE TO SHIP US I WILL SLIT YOUR THROATS.
Now, here are the final results.
THESE ARE AMAZING!! SHE'S GONNA LOVE IT!! Wow. Well, anyways, I hope they look as good on a neck as they look on a table.
Toodles!
