instructions

1. Necklace - 1. Cut 2m of ribbon. Tie a knot 16cm along from one end. Thread on a light pink wood bead, push along to the knot and tie another to keep it in place. Repeat, alternating with violet beads until you have added a total of 14. Open a 7mm jump ring, loop over the central knot of the necklace, add another jump ring and close.
   
   2. Cut 20cm of ribbon, thread through the centre of an square donut pendant and tie in a knot. Trim the ends at an angle with a sharp pair of scissors. Open a jump ring, loop through the knot and attach to the jump rings at the centre of the necklace and close. Cut the necklace to the desired length and attach a ribbon clasp to each end. Add a jump ring at one side and a jump ring with a trigger clasp to the other.
   

2. Make it yours - Use a simple wirework technique plus chain lengths to give your jewellery a decorative element. why not make earrings too?
