Materials:
2 different size pearls or beads (larger and smaller)
chain
wire
jump rings
crimp beads
ribbon (not pictured)
ribbon clamps (not pictured)
E-6000 (optional)
lighter or Fray Check (optional)
Tools:
wire cutters
crimpers
round nose pliers
flat nose pliers
Step 1: String larger beads onto ribbon clamps using crimp beads and beading wire.
Step 2: Add slightly shorter length (than first row of beads) of chain on top of the first row.
Step 3: Add smaller beads on a slightly shorter length than the chain, so all 3 rows tier nicely. You can repeat this with varying sizes of beads for as many rows as you like. (Sorry I don’t have exact measurements of rows. I just eye judged them).
Step 4: Clamp ribbon into ribbon clamps. I add a drop of E-6000 for good measure to make sure the ribbon stays put. I then cut the ribbon ends at an angle and added fray check. You can alternatively use a lighter to seal the ends, just be careful not to get the flame too close or it will leave black burn marks (or worse!)
PS – I party here.
So pretty! I’m obsessed with multi-strand necklaces and bracelets right now. I love this!
Pretty necklace – those bright colored beads would work so well as a pop of neon to go with a neutral outfit.
This came out so cute. We have a link party called Wednesdays Adorned From Above Blog Hop and would love to have you share this and any other posts with everyone. It runs from Tuesday night through midnight Sunday. Here is the link to the party.
