Designer Tips
- Measure and cut cotton cord to 20".
- Cut 2 sections off the chain (10 links each section).
- Pick out six 4mm jump rings and one 6mm jump ring.
- Place 8 heishi beads on the cotton cord, in the middle.
- Connect the chain pieces to the connector with jump rings, and connect it to the cording. New to jewelry-making? See Jump Ring Hint in Jewelry Basics 101 (PDF).
- Place the last 2 Heishi beads on the cord, one on each side.
- Add the pendant to the connector with a jump ring.
- Glue on the cord ends and let set until dry.
Optional: Crimp the cord ends instead instead of -- or in addition to -- gluing them. - Connect the clasp to the cord ends with jump rings.
