Ribbon & bead necklaces/bracelets

May 08, 2004 1 Replies

Hi everyone,



Thursday, I watched a fashion show and one of the outfits featured a necklace & bracelet set. The set appeared to be beads strung on organza ribbon, and was wrapped several times around the neck and/or wrist (at least 3 times from what I saw).



Has anyone made this type of necklace or bracelet? What type of ribbon did you use? Was the ribbone wired? What type of clasp did you use? Or did you just tie a bow?



I have some gorgeous square cat's eye beads that I thought might work with this style of necklace/bracelet. The beads have been sitting in my stash for a couple of years and I would love to be able to wear them.



thanks....Linda :)


Use unwired ribbon, about 1/4 - 3/4 inch depending. Use a big-eye needle to thread the ribbon through the beads.
