instructions
-
Necklace - Cut two lengths of thread, 100cm and 300cm. Leaving a tail of 10cm, tie the two ends together. Pass them through a size 11 rocaille, then knot to secure. Put the longer strand out of the way, and thread a needle onto the shorter one.
-
Pick up a size eight rocaille, followed by a pearl. Repeat this sequence until the necklace measures 60cm. Feed on a small black bead, then loop the thread around and back through the hole before securing with several knots.
-
Thread the needle onto the longer length. To create the tassells, pick up two random pearls, then a rocaille. Feed the needle back through the pearls, then pull tight and push through a few beads on the main necklace. Knot to secure.
-
Feed the thread through beads on the necklace until you want to add another tassell. Repeat the whole way around. Add a calotte to one end by placing the first rocaille inside it. Squeeze shut with flat-nosed pliers. Repeat on the other side.
