Necklace Instructions
Step 1
Cut one 36-inch length of green faux suede 10mm flat cord.
Step 2
String onto one 1-inch head pin: one 4x2mm smooth heishi, one peridot 6mm cube and one 4x2mm smooth heishi then form a simple loop. Repeat to create a second peridot drop.
String onto one 1-inch eye pin: one 4x2mm smooth heishi, one peridot 8mm cube and one 4x2mm smooth heishi then form a simple loop. Repeat to create a second peridot link.
Step 3
Apply E-6000® Jewelry and Craft adhesive to both sides of one end of the length of cord. Insert the end into one 11x10mm pentagon cord end. Use nylon jaw pliers to compress the cord end over the cord securing it in place.
Step 4
String two large-hole beads onto the opposite end of the cord. Pass the end of the cord back through the second large-hole bead in the opposite direction, creating a loop then string one large-hole bead.
Repeat Step 3 to secure the end of the cord.
Step 5
Attach one peridot drop to the loop on one end of one peridot link then attach the opposite end of the link to the loop on one cord end on one end of the necklace. Repeat to finish the opposite end of the necklace.
