Q & A

What materials are needed for this necklace project?

You will need cardboard (recycled or used), gold paper, scissors, glue (hot glue gun or paper glue), pearls or beads (optional), and a necklace string or cord.

Why is it important to fold the paper when creating the pattern?

Folding the paper ensures that both sides of the pattern are symmetrical, which makes the cutting process easier and helps achieve an even design for the necklace pieces.

Can I use any kind of cardboard for this project?

It’s best to use a sturdy but not too thick cardboard. The creator used a milk carton, which is ideal as it’s both strong and manageable. If your cardboard is dirty, clean it before starting.

What should I do if the gold paper is folded and leaves marks?

To avoid marks, it's recommended not to fold the gold paper. Instead, measure and cut it to fit the cardboard without any creases, ensuring a smooth finish.

How do I attach the gold paper to the cardboard?

After cutting the gold paper to match the size of the cardboard, glue it onto the cardboard using either hot glue or paper glue. Be sure to smooth out any air bubbles and ensure a strong bond.

How can I ensure the edges of the necklace pieces are neat?

Trim the excess gold paper carefully after gluing it onto the cardboard. This ensures that there are no gaps or rough edges, and the paper stays tightly attached to the cardboard.

How do I create the curved shapes for the necklace pieces?

The curved shapes can be cut slowly and carefully with scissors. It’s helpful to trim bit by bit to avoid mistakes, especially on the curved parts of the pieces.

What can I use to decorate the edges of the necklace pieces?

You can decorate the edges of the necklace pieces with pearls or beads for a sparkling effect. This step is optional but adds a decorative touch to the final product.

Is it okay to use different sized pieces for the necklace?

Yes, the pieces can be arranged from largest to smallest or in any order you prefer. You can also cut the pieces to match your desired size.

How do I secure the pearls or beads onto the necklace pieces?

To secure the pearls or beads, simply glue them around the edges of the gold paper. If the smaller sections are difficult to glue, cut the beads into smaller pieces to make them easier to apply.
