Step 1
You will need one ball of crochet thread, satin ribbon, big sewing needle, thick chain and old beads.
Step 2
Wind the thread around a board or something similar to create a thicker yarn for the braid.
Step 3
Once you've done that secure the yarn on one side...
Step 4
...and cut through on the other side.
Step 5
Now start to make an oval-shaped braid.
Step 6
Secure the ends very well and cut off the leftovers.
Step 7
Now with the same thread sew the chain onto the upper edge of the braid.
Step 8
Attach randomly the beads to the lower edge of the braid.
Step 9
Cut 2 satin ribbons and attach each to the ends of the chain. Secure the ends with a cross stitch to give the necklace an even more folkloric look.
Step 10
Finished statement necklace.
