I origionally wanted to use ribbon like the version on PS I made this, but when I saw this rope in my favorite mercerie in Montmartre, I knew immediately that It would be perfect. In the photos it comes accross as blue but in real life it is a bright greeny teal.
I'm really excited about this project because it's a really striking piece of jewellery which will brighten up my predominantly black oufits.
What you need: About 1/2 metre of rope
copper tubes which you can find in your hardware store's plumbing section
sticky-tape
clasp which has a catch big enough to fit around the rope
*scissors
Step 1: Measure the length of rope that you want. Wrap sticky-tape around the rope just before the point where you intend to cut it. this is so that it doesn't start fraying
Step 2: Slip the bent copper tube to the middle of the rope
Step 3: Tie two even knots next to the tube
Step 4: Slip the straight tubes on. One on either side of the bent tube.
Step 5: Attach your clasps to the necklace
Wear with pride!!!
