UP IN THE AIR NECKLACE

"Langit biru, awan putih, terbentang indah lukisan yang kuasa, ku melayang, di udara, terbang dengan balon udaaaaara ku, oh sungguh senangnya nikmati bumi, o o indahnya duniaaaa"
That is one of my favorite song when i was a child sang by Sherina Munaf called Balon Udaraku.

That song maybe tell us how beautiful this world could be, but as a child i imagine myself as a kid inside hot air balloon and sees everything from up in the air. And it feels so awesome and great! And every time i see hot air balloon, or even when i was on the plane and see the seas from above the  air, i always remember that song and all the excitement when i was a kid.

So, when i see hot air balloon charm in INACRAFT, without thinking any further, i bought the charm. I thought this charm should be hanging around my neck and become something part of myself, something define me.

So, this is how i made this necklace:

STEP 1>> PREPARE

• Three different color rope. I use leather rope, i bought them from Toko Maju, Mayestik. It costs Rp 15.000/meter.
• Chain. I use my old rusty chain that i colorize with golden pylox before.
• Scissor. 
• Pliers.
• Ring.
• Hook.
• Hot Air Baloon Charm. I bought this charm inINACRAFT from bukuunik.com. It cost approx Rp 4.500/each.
• "The tighten". Well, i don't know what is their official name (i swear, i am about learning all tools name) if i want to buy this things, i usually describe it as "something to ring the leather rope or fabric for making accessories". It cost Rp 3.000/each in Toko Maju, Mayestik.

STEP 2>> GET TOGETHER AND TIGHT THEM ALL

• Very first things to do is measure the length of the rope that you need. I personally use 10-15 cm to make this necklace.
• Put them together and tight them up with pliers in the edge of rope.

STEP 3>> HANG IT, RING IT

• Now it's time to connect the chain with the rope, use pliers and ring to both side. And don't forget to apply a hook in one of the side. 
• And after the chain and the rope connected, find out where is middle of necklace. And apply the hot air balloon charm in there. 

And after that you can celebrate our childhood memory with put this charm in necklace like this.
