Gaelic Heart Necklace

PROJECT N8053
Designer: Alexandra Smith
Skill Level: Beginner
Distinctive glass and metal elements come together in this bold necklace, designed for both men and women. European style large hole beads are strung with stardust sparkle beads on 2mm leather cord, featuring a TierraCast Celtic knot pendant.
Instructions
These instructions will make a 22.5 inch necklace. For a longer or shorter necklace, choose your desired length of leather cord.
  1. Please watch the video: How to Make a Necklace with Leather Cord and Large Hole Beads. In this video, you will see from start to finish how to create this design using 2mm leather cord, European style large hole beads, 8mm round stardust beads, and a TierraCast Celtic heart charm. First you will see how to attach the charm to your bail bead. Then you will see how to string the beads onto the leather in the order shown. Next you will see how to stabilize the design by attaching crimp covers on either side of the beads. Finally, you will see how to attach a clasp using foldover crimp cord ends.
