Materials:
- chain
- shoelaces
- ribbon
- string
- wire
- super glue
- jewelry clasp
For our metal materials, we used 6 different types of chain:
silver ball chain, hardware store chain, and two chains from
old necklaces.
Use wire to bind the bottom together. Trim off excess (but
leave the main chain you need that!).

What you need:
-A piece of leather lace (long enough to tie and slide over your
head)
-Cotton string
-Fabric dye
How to do it:
-Cut 8 pieces of cotton string about 3 ft. long.
-Fold each string in half and attach to the leather with a larks head knot.
(Shown in the first image.)
-I would recommend taping the untied leather down tightly across a table so
that the top of your necklace wont move around.
-The rest of this pattern will basically just use square knots. You should have
16 strings hanging down, think of them in sets of four. To create a square
knot, take the first set of four on the left side and cross string #1 over #2 & 3
and under #4 then take #4 and loop it under #1 on the right side, continue
under #3 & 2 and then come out over #1 on the left side. Now tighten this to
the top holding #2 & 3 tightly will help. Then take #1 (which is now on the
left side) and go over #3 & 2 and under #4 then take #4 and loop it under #1
on the left side, continue under #3 & 2 and then come out over #1 on the
right side. And tighten this to the top as you did before. A square knot!
-I used alternating square knots on the top. A square knot for strings 1-4, 58, 9-12, 13-16 for the first row, strings 3-6 and 11-14 for the second row,
strings 1-4, 5-8, 9-12, 13-16 for the third row, strings 3-6 7-10, 11-14 for the
fourth row, strings 5-8 and 9-12 for the fifth row, and strings 7-10 for the
sixth row.
-Then I tied a few random knots on the strings left hanging and trimmed the
bottom.
-Tie the leather lace so that it fits over your head and you can slide the knots
along the top a bit closer if you would like.
-I used RIT box dye and follow the stovetop instructions for heating the
water & dye. The I dipped the necklace down into the water as high as I
wanted the dye to go. Then I pulled it out a little bit and tied it to the pot
handle and let it soak a little longer. I continued to pull it up a little bit every
5 -10 minutes to get a slight ombre look.
-Rinse it out and let it dry.
*If you need images to show you how to make these
knots. This and this really helped me.
