  Step 1

  Tools and Materials:
  Embroidery thread (I used about 9 skeins in a tonal range of pinks, coral, and fuschia)
  Needle
  Crystal/rhinestone necklace

• 

  Step 2

  I began by unwinding the skeins and making three bundles (of three skeins each), a little over three times the length of my necklace.

• 

  Step 3

  I tied the ends together, keeping the bundles separate, then began braiding. You'll need to save a piece of thread about twice as long as the bundles for attaching the necklaces together later.

• 

  Step 4

  Continue until the braid is about 3 inches longer, on each end, from the necklace, then knot the loose strings. I trimmed down the remaining string on each end.

• 

  Step 5

  Next, I lined up the necklace with the braid, and made note of where I wanted the rhinestone necklace to become attached.

• 

  Step 6

  Thread up a needle with string, and tie the embroidery thread around some strings of the braid. I used the needle to sew the thread through the braid and wrapped in between the rhinestones. At the end of the necklace, I tied off the embroidery thread and tucked in the loose ends.

  Step 7

  With jump rings, attach to the string a larger ring and clasp. You're done!
