Currently I’m busy planning projects for the September classes. I like this one so much, and I know that not all of you live close enough to attend the classes, that I decided to share it with you right here, ahead of time! π

1. First you take the 4 strands of silk cord, fold them in half, and attach them, with a Lark’s head knot, to one of the freeform rings. Then you start braiding.
2. Keep going to your desired length – mine is 12″)
3. Take the ends, and thread them through the 2nd freeform ring. Fold the ends over, and wrap everything with the 12″ piece of wire.
Attach the large link chain to the ring.
Now, using 3 small chain links, attach the other end to the pendant
There…one half is done!
4. Now the other side…
Thread the beads onto the short pieces of wire, and form loops on both ends.
5. Take 3 small chain links, and connect the beads. Then, with 3 more links, connect the strand of beads to the top of the pendant.
6. Now connect the last bead to one part of the toggle – using the medium (chain)link, and the other part to the large-link chain.
You’re done! Β π€ Β Look at it! You did this! π Congratulations!
I hope you had lots of fun with this project!
…and remember – should you have any questions, need clarification….I’m just a message away. π
Of course I’m – as always – looking forward to seeing your finished Necklace!
