Instructions in 6 steps The beaded tassel made of glass bugle beads, glass wax beads and Rocailles beads is particularly eye-catching on this necklace. And this is how it works:

Step 1: Tassel

For the tassel cut the threading silk in 7 strings à 0,5m. Make a safety knot on the end of the first string.

Step 2

Thread on 1 glass stick, 1 renaissance glass wax bead and 6 further glass sticks with the special needle to thread beads, you will get a length of 5 cm (this stays the same for all strings). Thread on Rocailles until you have a length of 10cm. Total length 15cm. Thread on the metal bead and the split ring and thread back through the metal bead.

Step 3

Now thread back in the same way and fix the end of the string with a pin.

Step 4

Thread the other strings in the same way, but use less Rocailles corresponding of the length: 2. String 9cm length, 3. String 8,5 cm length, 4. String 8 cm length, 5. String 7 cm length, 6. String 6 cm length, 7. String 5cm length.

Step 5

Remove all pins and hold up the strings to bundle the tassel at the metal bead. Fix the strings with safety knot at the ends. Spread a little jewellery glue on the knots and after it’s dries cut the ends of.

Step 6: Necklace

For the necklace thread 2m threading silk into the special needle to thread beads and fix the ends with a safety knot. Thread on alternately 118 Renaissance glass wax beads and Rocailles. Finally cut of the strings at the needle and make another safety knot. Lay the knots with a little jewellery glue into the squeeze catch and close it. Thread on the tassel and hang in the clasp.
