Instructions

This short necklace measures about 16" long. To add or subtract from the finished length, simply adjust the length of your waxed cotton cord pieces.
  1. Cut five 15.5" pieces of purple waxed cotton cord. I used a pair of flush cutters to get a nice clean cut.
  2. Group your cords together with the ends even and apply some E6000 glue to the ends, then fit them into a silver plated cord end for 4mm cord. Push them all the way in and then clean off any excess glue. Allow the glue to dry before continuing.
  3. Slide a 3 x 100mm silver plated curved noodle bead onto each cord.
  4. Attach the loose ends into a second cord end in the same manner as you did the first. Allow the glue to dry before continuing.
  5. Use a 4mm, 22 gauge silver plated jump ring to attach each cord end to one side of a silver plated magnetic clasp.
  6. Allow all glue to dry thoroughly before wearing.
