Materials:
- Gold Small Curb Chain (x2)
- 8mm Turquoise Round Beads (x1)
- .8mm Stretch Cord (x1)
- Needle Nose Pliers
- Wire Cutters
Instructions:
1. Using pliers, separate the chain into (28) 10-link lengths, each approximately 1 1/2” long.
2. Cut (4) 14” lengths of stretch cord. Lay the (4) cords flat in a row, approximately ½” from each other.
3. Thread each cord through a single chain and thread a turquoise round onto cords 1 and 3.
4. Thread each cord through a single chain and thread a turquoise round onto cords 2 and 4.
5. Repeat steps 3-4 14 more times. Increase the overall length by repeating steps 3-4 again.
6. Tie each cord together into a double knot. Trim the excess cords. The tension of the stretch cord will move the chain so it surrounds the beads and forms a woven pattern.
