Description:

The Kusari Tsunagi Soutache & Satin Edge Bead Necklace Kit is lots of fun. In this kit you will learn how to add parallel rows of beads to the "edges" of the Kusari Tsunagi Braid. This necklace is made with two colors of Luxury Italian Soutache, 1 color of Kumihimo Nylon Satin and 3 colors of 6/O Miyuki or Toho seed beads

The braid in this necklace kit is the Kusari
Tsunagi.
It is an 8-strand round, chained braid. This is a must do kit, however, you should be familiar with the Kusari Tsunagi braid.  If you need to learn the Kusari Tsunagi braid, click here for an excellent 14-page tutorial. I do have basic instructions for the Kusair Tsunagi braid in the kit.

I have provided enough material in the kit to make up to a 22" - 23" necklace (depending on braiders). This is a fantastic technique to use for bracelets as well.
