Okay, so I’ve been wanting to make my own necklace for a while, and I finally did it! I’m a huge astrology nerd, and Aquarius is my sign, so I decided to make an Aquarius constellation necklace. It was honestly way easier than I thought it would be, and I’m kinda obsessed with how it turned out.
First, I needed to gather my materials. I ordered some beads and pendants online. I chose these cute little star-shaped beads and a silver pendant in the shape of the Aquarius constellation. I also picked up some jewelry wire, a clasp, and some jump rings from a local craft store. I already had some jewelry pliers at home, so I was good to go on that front.

Once I had everything, I laid out my design. I played around with the arrangement of the star beads until I had something that resembled the actual constellation. It took a little bit of trial and error, but I eventually got it just right. I decided to keep it simple and just use the star beads for the constellation itself and then add a few plain silver beads on either side for some extra length.
Next, I started stringing the beads onto the wire. I used my pliers to help me with the smaller beads and to make sure everything was secure. This part was actually kind of relaxing, like a little meditation session. I just put on some music and got into the zone.
After all the beads were strung, I attached the clasp to one end of the wire and a jump ring to the other. Then, I used the jump ring to attach the Aquarius pendant to the center of the necklace. This was probably the trickiest part, just making sure everything was centered and secure, but I managed to get it done without too much trouble.
- Gathered all my materials, like beads and pendants and such.
- Figured out the design with the star beads.
- Strung those suckers onto the wire.
- Attached the clasp and pendant.
- Boom! Finished necklace.
And that’s it! My very own, handmade Aquarius constellation necklace. It’s not perfect, but I love that I made it myself. It feels way more special than anything I could have bought. Plus, it was a fun little project to do on a weekend afternoon. If you’re into DIY stuff and want a unique piece of jewelry, I definitely recommend giving this a try. You might surprise yourself with what you can create!
