Final Result

Materials

• Ribtex 12mm glass pearls - white
• 2 x Ribtex 8mm round diamante rondelle balls - bright silver
• Ribtex memory velvet hollow cord - black
• Ribtex memory neck wire
• Ribtex memory bracelet wire
• round nose pliers
• cutting pliers
• ruler or tape measure
• scissors
• bead board

Step 1

Cut a section of memory neck wire to fit around your neck, allowing for an approximate 8cm overlap. Cut 2 pieces of hollow velvet cord, each piece measuring approximately 18cm.

Step 2

Using pliers turn one end of the memory wire into a small loop. This is to stop the velvet cord sliding off the end. Carefully feed one piece of velvet cord onto the neck ring, sliding it all the way to the end where you have made the loop.

Step 3

Thread 3 white glass pearls onto the neck wire followed by a round diamante rondelle then another 3 white glass pearls.

Step 4

Feed the second piece of velvet cord onto the neck wire. Leave enough wire to make a loop and trim off any excess wire. Finish off by using the pliers to turning the end of the wire into a loop.
