DIY Gretchen Jones Necklace
Materials
- Different sizes of rings from Volunteers of America Thrift Store, $1.99. (Originally comes in steel color. I spray with golden spray later)
- 2mm Neon Pink Amy Braided Macramé Craft Cord from Hobby Lobby, $1.99 per 25 yards.
Step-by-step
- Start by laying out pattern.
- Line up two rings. Cut a 12" piece of cord and connect the two rings by wrapping around them 4-5 times.
- Pull tightly and tie into a double knot. Trim the ends.
- Take a lighter and burn the tips of the knot until the nylon starts to melt. Then immediately press the bottom of the lighter against the melted tips onto the backside of the wrapped cord, sealing the knot.
- Align another ring and repeat the process.
- Continue to add more rings, wrapping each connecting section.
- When the pendant of the necklace is finished, cut two 40" pieces of cord. Fold a piece in half, pull the center loop through top of the upper right ring, fold it over the ring, and pull the rest of the cord through the loop.
- Repeat the step on the opposite side.
