Bejeweled Necklace Tutorial
Created by: Cindy Morris
Designer Tips
- Close the hoop. Lash the rhinestone chain onto the hoop using Artistic Wire, wrapping around the hoop twice between each link of chain.
- Start and end the chain over the opening of the (now closed) hoop. Trim ends when done.
- The last link on each end will not lie quite flat, so tie the lark’s head knot over this spot to hide them.
- Make sure your cord lengths are equal before attaching cord ends and clasp.
