It's a simple enough task, just stringing beads etc.
I can't see how the ends of the tassels are finished, though, so this might give a beginner some pause for thought.
I'm sure the experienced beaders will offer some advice.
Very pretty necklace and I love the combination of colours. |
O.K., a little input from an "experienced beader"...looks to me like the last pearl has a little bead after it (especially visible in the first photo). Hardly shows, so could actually be a tiny (size 11 or 14) glass sead bead close to the color of the pearl. You could use anything small. To end the strand once you reach the desired length, string on that last pearl, then add a tiny bead and go back through the hole of the pearl and several more beads (I like to go back at least an inch or two), pulling the tiny bead close to the last pearl. It's a good idea of tie a simple knot (a half-hitch?) around the string, then go through a few more beads and knot again, then go through a few more beads and cut off the thread as close as possible to the beads so the loose end doesn't show. At least that's how I would do it. Looks like a pretty fun, simple project that could be worn a number of different ways. Have fun, and good luck! You, too, will soon be an "experienced beader"...
