    Quick Project Steps

    The elegant, classy look of black and silver in the Penelope necklace and bracelet will really make you stand out in a crowd. Wear it as a wrap bracelet for a more casual look during the day and as a necklace for a more formal look when you head out in the evening. 1. Add a stop bead to the thread. String on 4 round beads, bring the needle and thread that is next to the stop bead and then go through all 4 beads again to tighten up the circle. Pick up 3 round beads and go back down the bead that the thread is coming out of. This forms the second section of right angle weave. 2. Watch the Penelope Necklace & Bracelet tutorial with Anna to see how she creates her design. 3. When you finish the length of your project, add 22 seed beads to form a loop. Test out to see if it will fit the clasp on the other end before sewing it into the project. Reinforce the loop and bring the thread down into the project to tie off. The Penelope Necklace & Bracelet is a double duty piece of jewelry. Have fun making it with different colors to suit your style. Or give it as a gift that’s sure to impress.
