How to make Loc (dreadlock) Jewelry

http://www.theloveofcrochet.com I made a demonstration of an easy way to make your own Loc adornments. All you need is some 20guage wire which you can get at a craft or fabric store and some small wire cutters and benders. I plan to demonstrate this method with jewels soon as well. I hope this is helpful. Be creative and original.

Great tutorial Pinky! What store did you buy your jewelry products and wire from? Thank you in advance =)

@mzfit4u I usually go to Michaels or JoAnn Fabrics, but there are also may resources online. I just randomly find them through google for specific items in a search.

I am a loc'd sista who lives in Toronto Canada and while there is a huge presence of loc'd people here in the city, its hard to find the accessories. I have always thought of making my own but didn't know where to start. Thank you so much for this video! While i'm not tat creative this videa and all the other videos inspired from it has gotten my creative juices flowing!!

I do have one question, how do you make the nice snake shape in the wire?

Peace & Blessings!!

[Pinky2D4]

I make the snake shape by just bending the wire back and forth using a rounded object for the bends. You can use a pencil or something smaller as a guide. Just takes a bit of practice to get it to look right. Try it, not as difficult as it may look.

Ms. Pinky love the video, however I have one suggestion...the music was a bit loud and in some parts it was hard to understand what was being said. Other than that I love this idea, I dont have dreads but I do know a few ppl that do and this would make a nice gift. Thanks so much for the ideas.

P.s I know I am a year or so late.

[Pinky2D4]

Yeah, sorry about that. It was near the 4th of July and they were shooting off fireworks all that night. I turned up the music to drown it out! lol.

I just started my locs a few days ago, so I have a while to go before I am able to put beads and decorations and such in them, but THESE are amazing and I can't wait to start making my own! xoxoxo-Kat
