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.
- Cut five 15.5" pieces of turquoise waxed cotton cord. I used a pair of flush cutters to get a nice clean cut.
- Group your cords together with the ends even and apply some E6000 glue to the ends, then fit them into a gold 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.
- Slide a 3 x 100mm gold plated curved noodle bead onto each cord.
- 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.
- Use a 4mm, 22 gauge gold plated jump ring to attach each cord end to one side of a gold plated magnetic clasp.
- Allow all glue to dry thoroughly before wearing.
