I loved the look of this braided teardrop, it can be used as a pendant but also looks great as a bracelet.

Supplies you’ll need:

You will need 3mm microsuede and the best tool of all, your hands! Actually, I did use a bit of tape to hold my loop.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Create a loop, then take your right leg of microsuede and create a teardrop shape then loop it behind the top loop.

Step 2

Do this same process until the braid is almost to the center of the teardrop.

Step 3

Continue....

Step 4

When finished braiding take the leg of microsuede you have been using and feed it down through the center.

Step 5

Then take the right microsuede leg and bring it around the back and down through the center.

Step 6

Finito! You can add glue on cord end embellishments or large hole beads at the ends of the microsuede.
