STRINGING/KNOTTING ANECKLACE/BRACELET

Before you begin, decide how longyou want it to be.

A long necklace should hang no

longer than your waist. A medium necklace is between 20-27 inches

A choker is 14-18 inches. Add 3 inches on each side of thenecklace to allow for knotting.

LINKING BEADS Eye pins are ideal for linking beads together

because they already have a preformed loop inone end.

Use short pins for single beads and longer onesfor group beads.

Slide the beads onto each pin, trim the wireand turn a loop just as you would with a headpin.

To link the beads together, use jump rings oropen up a loop on the pin and join to the next

loop. Make sure you close the loops securely or theywill come undone when you wear them.
