The braided cork in this project measures 7". To adjust the size, simply change the braided cork length in your materials list.
- Begin by adding a few drops of Super New glue into one of your silver plated cord ends.
- Carefully place one end of your pre-cut 7" length of red Regaliz braided cork into the cord end. (This glue is quite strong so be careful not to get any on your fingers.) Hold in place for a few seconds.
- Repeat this process with a second cord end and the other end of your Regaliz braided cork. Set aside.
- Slide on a turquoise gemstone bead onto a silver plated head pin. Create a simple wire loop with your round nose pliers and snip off any excess wire using your flush cutters. Once your bead is on, create another simple wire loop. Snip off any excess wire with your flush cutters.
- Next, with your chain nose pliers open a silver plated jump ring and slide it onto a simple wire loop from one side of your turquoise gemstone bead. Before closing the jump ring, also slide on the loop from on of your cord ends and close.
- Repeat this process with a second jump ring and your second cord end.
- That's it!
