Bronzed Micro Suede Wrap Necklace
by Ali on 02/15/18
About this design:
Microsuede is so easy to work with and our metallic microsuede is no different! Center the green glass bead portion of the necklace at the front of your neck and wrap the ends around to the front to tie.
Buy the supplies:
The products in this design are listed below.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Step 1: This is really so simple to make. I strung 16 6x9 large hole Czech glass rondelles to the middle of my cord. Once I was happy with the placement I secured them with a knot at each end of the bead row. I then made 2 beaded charms using the metallic matte hematite chevron beads. Decide how long you want your necklace, trim the excess and knot the charms to the ends. |

S Jimenez says:Hi may I know how you make the ends on this necklace? How do you cut the green hematite?
Also, what is the size of the suede in the design? Could you tell me if the suede ends up being to shiny?
Thanks!!
Sandra.
