Quick Glass Rings Necklace
About this design:

Additional Images:
Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Gather your 5 components. |
|
Step 2: Open one side of the connector just large enough to fit the large ring on. Slide on ring and close with pliers. Attach smaller ring the same way. |
|
Step 3: String ribbon on top of the large ring through the connector. |
|
Step 4: Take 2' of Irish waxed linen and wrap around the ribbon at the connector to keep the focal in place. Secure with a couple overhand knots. |
|
Step 5: Embellish the ribbon with a few quick knots on either side. |
