Knotted silk strands are a fun way to create cool patterns within your jewelry. They also allow you to mix beads in beautiful ways. Candie used crystal beads, Dakota Stones gemstone beads, and even TierraCast spacers on the knotted strand in this cool necklace. By attaching the chain to strand, she made a simple design that doesn't require a clasp and can be slipped on over the head See more ideas for creating knotted strands in this Artbeads Cafe episode.
String the following pattern of beads onto your Griffin silk bead cord:
Knot between this pattern of beads using the Beadalon Knot-a-Bead tabletop knotter tool. Remember, that you will treat the heishi, blue apatite bead, and heishi pattern as one bead and so only knot before the first heishi and after the last heishi.
Nice choice! All or most of the products needed for this project are shown below with quantities. Sometimes we sell out of components and aren’t able to order more from the manufacturer (we know, it is very disappointing to us, too). Use the opportunity to mix up the design and make it yours by substituting similar products or altering the entire color scheme—it’s up to you!
