Description

The real time consuming part is the wait in between paint coats! This necklace is inspired by the Lief collection.

Instructions

1. 

   tape the part that you want to leave in natural copper on the three pressure slip couplings

2. 

   spray paint the couplings - wait at least 15-20 minutes and repeat to 5 coats

3. 

   once it's all dry remove the tape

4. 

   double your cord and thread the larger of the couplings leaving two shorter ends on one side of the rope

5. 

   thread the medium size coupling

6. 

   and then the smaller one

7. 

   pull the rope tight around the couplings

8. 

   make sure that the length of the rope is long enough to go over your head and cut the excess

9. 

   burn the ends of the ropes to make sure they won't unravel and add some glue to join the ropes together

10. 

    wrap a little tape around the joint together with the neon nylon twine

11. 

    wrap the neon nylon twine around the ropes / repeat on the other side.

12.
