Redrum Necklace
About this design:
I used different shades of red crystals to create the effect of dripping blood for this Halloween-inspired necklace

Step-by-Step Instructions:
|
Step 1: Begin with a piece of the clear elastic cord- I used an 11" piece, but you'll want a piece that fits around your neck without being too loose. |
|
|
Step 2: With the headpins & crystals, make 7 bead charms (follow the picture for the order to use- the darker crystals are always slid onto the headpin first). |
|
Step 3: Separate each bead charm with 3 crystals- also begin & end with three crystals. Tie a knot on each end so the beads stay in place in the center of the cord. To finish, tie the end of the cord around a jump ring & lobster clasp, and secure with a crimp. |

Little Round Chick says:Pam is right. It is clever and it looks like blood dripping. Should we be concerned???
