You Will Need (8 things)

  • Chain
  • Satin Ribbon
  • Crimp Beads
  • 2 Ribbon Crimp
  • Beading Wire
  • E6000
  • Fray Check
  • 4 mm and 6 mm Glass Pearl Beads

Steps (5 steps, 60 minutes)

  1. 1

    Gather your supplies. I used 4 mm and 6 mm yellow glass pearls with gunmetal chain and dark gray satin ribbon.

  2. 2

    String larger beads on beading wire and attach to ribbon clamps using crimp beads and crimper.

  3. 3

    Add a slightly shorter layer of chain to the ribbon clamps.

  4. 4

    Add smallest row of 4 mm beads and attach them to the ribbon clamp with crimp beads and a crimper. You can optionally tangle them or add a brooch to customize it. You can also keep layering as long as you like.

  5. 5

    Attach satin ribbon to ribbon clamps. I used a dab of E-6000 before clamping the ribbon closed. You can also add Fray Check to the other ends of the ribbon or *carefully* use a flame to seal the ends so they don't fray over time.
