$ 48.00
Description:
This is another kit in my collection of necklaces called "Painting with Beads".
THIS NECKLACE FEATURES AN ADJUSTABLE CLOSURE WITH BEADED TASSELS.
You will learn four great techniques in this kit: 1) You will learn the “Lark's Head Knot” method for attaching a pendant, 2) you will learn the technique for “Starting in the Middle”, 3) you will load beads for a Spiral pattern and 4) you will learn how to make an adjustable closure with beaded tassels. This is a fun necklace to make and these are techniques you can adapt to your other projects.
This necklace showcases a handpainted Ceramic Heart Pendant.
The beaded sections are a solid spiral and spotted spiral design and measure 7” on each side. The braided sections are a two color spiral and they also measure 6” on each side. The finished length of the necklace is approximately 26” (give or take depending on beads and braider’s technique). This necklace showcases a handpainted Ceramic Heart Pendant.
