Yellow & Crushed Glass Bead Ribbon Necklace

So you have seen the pink ribbon and pearl necklace. I thought I would try something else the same way. I have these cracked glass beads that I have wanted to use and I had yellow ribbon that I thought would work well with the glass.

Start the same way, knot and bring your knotted thread through the knot. Also this time I used button thread b/c these beads were way heavier!

Here is how I weave them. Very easy. There is room for error so you don't have to be perfect to make these types of necklaces

Basically I repeated the same procedure. But I made more strands and also decided to use white pearls I wanted a thick necklace of beads. :)

Repeat again tying off the notes for the strands starting with the shortest one first. Again burn. Blah Blah.

I glued also just because I am afraid.

I busted out the lobster claw, the jump rings, and chain.

I only used 1 of the chains, I am having the lobster claw link the big loop

Done! Here is the end necklace. I love how it is big and chunky and filled with beads.

Pink Pearl and Ribbon Necklace

I started this project one day after seeing some pins on pinterest. It looked easy enough! So I grabbed pink ribbon that I have excess of with pink pearls, thread and of course thread heaven. I love that stuff!

Basically I knotted the ribbon and thread (not together). I inserted the needle through the knot to hide the knot of the thread. Add a bead. Then I went through the ribbon. Add a bead. Then I wrapped and went through the ribbon going the opposite direction. Repeat Repeat Repeat. I made 3 ribbons of beads at 3 different lengths. I had just enough.

Now to combine them... I used these rings from a necklace I never wore and I think was part of the beader's stash I purchased. I cut between the big circles. I will save the oval ones for later.

I started with the short string and tied a knot on the ring. Repeat other side. Then add the rest of the bead strings.

I burned the ribbon to prevent it from fraying

But then added glue too. Too afraid. yes I made another version... stay tuned!

Then I grabbed some jump rings and chain.

I wanted the necklace to sit sort of low, so I used long chain. 2 jump rings per chain on each side with a lobster claw. Yay.

Done!

I love the pink! Yay.
