Designer’s Tip:
It is easier to make tight knots if you lubricate the leather cord with water prior to making the knots. |
1. Thread one round bone bead onto a head pin and make a loop and wrap split ring into loop to create a dangle. Repeat this step until all beads are on head pins. There should be 3 round bone dangles, 2 square bone bead dangles and 4 pearl bead dangles.
2. Crimp cord end onto one end of the leather cord. Attach one end of hook & eye clasp to loop.
3. Measure 5” from end of cord end and hold spot. String on one round bone flower dangle through the split ring and tie knot with split ring inside of knot. (Split ring allows better movement of dangle than just threading through loop of wire wrap)
4. Measure ˝” from knot and thread one pearl dangle through the split ring and tie knot as before. Measure ˝” from knot and thread one square bone flower dangle and tie knot as previously done. Measure ˝” and thread one pearl dangle and knot. Continue this pattern until all dangles are knotted. (Pattern should be 1 round flower, 1 pearl, 1 square flower, 1 pearl, 1 round flower, 1 pearl, 1 square flower, 1 pearl, 1 round flower)
5. Measure 5” from last knot and trim cord. Crimp cord end onto end of leather cord and attach other end of clasp onto loop.
