Project details:

These Czech Glass daggers are perfect for creating a simple focal element. For this design, I made a bead link with the daggers, and slid it onto a piece of silk string. I love the simplicity of the design, and this color combo is one of my favorites!

Supplies you’ll need:

Silk String
Czech Glass Daggers
11/0 Seed Beads
Gold 26 Gauge Wire
Gold Large Hole Beads
Super Glue
Crimp Cord Ends
Lobster Clasp
Jump Ring

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Make a bead link with the wire, the daggers, & the seed beads. Slide on 10 daggers, with a seed bead in between each dagger. Slide the link onto a piece of silk string (any length you choose). I placed a couple small drops of glue on the ribbon (where it lays above the bead link) to keep it in place.

Step 2

Tie a double knot in the silk string & slide on a large hole gold bead. Tie another double knot above the bead to hold it in place. Repeat however many times you'd like.
