This gorgeous lampwork bead is strung on hand-woven Linhasita cord, which gives a natural, dainty style to this necklace. Watch the video to learn how to twist the cord.

Supplies you’ll need:

  • PE-4 Linhasita cord 1mm in Plum
  • 1 Surprise party Grace Lampwork 10x16 rondelle
  • 1 copper jump ring - soldered
  • 1 copper lobster clasp

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Cut two 3ft pieces of Linhasita cord. Slide the lamp work bead onto the center of both cords. Tie a knot on each side of the bead to keep it centered on the cord.

Step 2

Clip or tape down one side of the cord. Watch the video. In the video, I take both cords, and I start twisting them in the same direction separately. Then, twist both cords together tightly. Make sure the length fits your neck.

Step 3

When the necklace is long enough, tie a knot at the end to secure the twist. Repeat Steps 2 & 3 for the opposite side of the necklace.

Step 4

Image 1: Slide the lobster clasp onto both cords. Image 2: Separate the cords. Image 3: Wrap the right cord around several times. Image 4: Wrap the left cord around a few times in the opposite direction. Image 5: Tie two overhand knots. Image 6: Trim the cord and use a lighter to burn the ends to seal the knots. Follow the same steps for attaching the jump ring on the opposite end of the necklace.
