Make your Own Bobble Necklace

So I've been looking in the shops to see what is popular and I found the Bobble Necklace

I created my own twist on it with my 'Earth and Water Bobble Necklace'

A 100cm Latest in Fashion Bobble Neclace made from wood and glass. Can be worn full length or shorter.

How about trying your hands at it with my instructions below.


Materials required

-1 meter Black Cotton Wax Cord
-Scissors
-13 (sizes ranging from large to small) Wooden Beads
-26 Glass Donut Beads/ Spacers
-Ruler








1. Decide on the arrangement of the necklace with the largest bead in the middle.













2. Thread the donut bead, then largest wooden bead and the donut bead on the cotton wax cord. On either side of the donut bead tie a knot on either side of the donut bead.












3. On either side of the large bead measure 2 cm and do another knot and repeat Step 3 with the other size beads until all is finished. Measure 21cm from the end of the last bead for both sides and cut.











4. At the end put a small bead and put a double knot leaving about 1.5cm at the end. Dab the end with some clear nail varnish polish to prevent the cord from fraying. Then feed back into bead to leave a neat knot. Pull bead to the end and finish off with another knot.










5. Vola! And there you have it. A beautiful fashionable bobble necklace.
