Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

NOTE: This project makes for a shorter necklace so that you can use the rest of your SilverSilk length to make a matching bracelet. All you need to purchase is an additional pair of 3 strand pinch end caps (FCR-7032). The instructions would be the same and you can find the project here.

To make this project, please watch the video: How to Use SilverSilk Pinch End Caps and Make a Bracelet.
The video above shows how to make a bracelet, but the exact same technique is used to make the necklace, just braid a longer length. If you do not plan on making a bracelet too, then you can make this necklace quite a bit longer, just keep braiding until you are happy with the necklace length.
If you plan on making the bracelet too, then do not pre-cut your SilverSilk, just braid your necklace using the full 2 feet lengths of each color and then use your leftover for the bracelet.
