"*******Kusari Tsunagi Soutache & Satin Necklace with Handpainted Soft Chamois Pendant- NEW"
$ 43.00
Description:
I love this new necklace kit. The Kusari Tsunagi Braid is absolutely gorgeous and it is a beautiful braid structure. It's just gorgeous. The combination of the rich matte Soutache (3 colors) and one color of Satin Cord is a perfect pairing with the Handpainted Soft Chamois Folk Art Pendant. Feels almost a little cow-girl like.
The instructions are written for a 25" to 26" necklace (depending on braider differences). You can easily make the neck several inches shorter depending where you attach the end caps . It’s your choice. Some people like a longer necklace and some like their necklaces shorter. There is flexibility.
Kit Includes:
- Luxury Italian Soutache (9 yards)
- Kumihimo Satin Cord (3 yards)
- Handpainted Soft Chamois Pendant
- Porcelain Pony Bead
- 6mm All-in-one Magnetic Clasp
- Instructions with Photos
You will need: Kumihimo Disk (I recommend the BeadSmith Mini), 8 bobbins, tape measure, 1 1/2 oz counterweight, Fray Block (available at craft and fabric stores), sharp scissors and glue to attach magnetic clasp. I use WeldBond Universal Glue but you may use whatever you like. I get WeldBond at Michaels Craft Stores or Ace Hardware (try online). I use teh standard thickness disk. I think a thick disk has too much "grab" on the Soutache.
You should know: This kit assumes you that you are familiar with and can successfully braid the Kusari Tsunagi Braid. If you aren't sure, I have a great Kusari Tsunagi Instant Download Tutorial on my website.
While the instructions are written for a disk, they are easily adaptable to the Marudai.
