Quick Project Steps

Stretch the Griffin Silk Cord to eliminate kinks and prevent future stretching.
Tie a knot at one end of the silk cord and attach a knot cover to conceal the knot and create a loop for the clasp.
Begin adding beads, starting with a Tubelet bead followed by a knot. Use a hand knotting technique or tools like tweezers to assist with tight, close knots.
Follow a simple pattern of three Tubelet beads followed by one 4mm round turquoise bead, ensuring knots are placed between each bead or group of beads.
Continue the beading and knotting process until you reach the desired length of the necklace. To finish, secure the final knot, trim excess silk cord, attach the second knot cover, and add the clasp components.
Optionally, create multiple strands for a thicker necklace or a longer piece to wear as a wrap bracelet.

The pull-down menu under the "learn about" tab for "bead patterns" did not work, so I could not shop for patterns this time.
