So this could NOT be any easier, honestly.
First things first.
Thread your needle.
Then starting at the end of the ribbon {with enough left at the end to tie around your neck},
tread the needle through and put a bead on.
*****UPDATE****
Before threading your ribbon add a small clear bead to the thread. This will prevent your
knot from coming through the ribbon. Just make sure to really knot you thread.
Then fold the ribbon over half of the bead and thread through that side.
Keep repeating until desire look is achieved.
To finish off, knot the thread. Then tie a knot in the ribbon at each end of the necklace.
Fray check each end of the ribbon {I take a lighter to the ends}.
THAT SIMPLE!
I hate to run but I am off to make about 20 or so more!

Okay I must be really lame because I cannot get my necklace to look right. And my knotted thread still goes through the ribbon at the end. What am I doing wrong?
ReplyDeleteOh Jen you are not lame! Ok so my suggestion would be to knot your thread, then before you start to put and beads on put a small clear bead on the end to stop it from coming through the ribbon. Let me know how that works! Sorry...
ReplyDeleteThank you!!! I will try it tonight. :)
ReplyDeleteOh! It is gorgeous! I love the beads that you used too! I keep telling myself that I need to wear more necklaces! This one is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing it on Show and Tell Saturday!!!
