September 14, 2007, Newsletter Issue #195: Simple Tin Cup Necklace

Tip of the Week

To create a delicate and lovely tin cup style necklace all you need is a strand of silk knotting thread, a pair of fine point tweezers, beads or pearls, and a clasp.

The process is very simple. Take your thread, place a single knot in it, slip on a bead or pearl, then knot tight up against the bead or pearl. Space an inch or so down the thread and place another knot, slip on a bead or pearl, and knot tight up against the bead or pearl. Continue this the length of the necklace or bracelet. When done, tie your cord to your clasp, and if you would like extra security, place a dab of jewelry cement (glue) on the final knot.

There you have a lovely and stylish necklace!
