MATERIALS: (For Necklace)
1 Skein Aqua and Silver "CCA" Brand
Metallic Craft Cord
76 Silver Plated Pony Beads
1 Snowflake Concho
(Great anytime of the year)
6 7 mm Gemocite Chevrons
E-6000 (TM) Glue
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Cut 8 strands of Metallic Craft Cord 50" long.
2. Hold all 8 strands and tie a knot in the middle ( 25" from
either end.)
3. Secure the knot to a board with a nail or to a table top.
with masking tape. This will make it wasier to braid the
cords.
4. Separate the 8 cords on each side of the knot into 3
groups.
Left 2 cords
Middle 4 cords
Right 2 Cords
Apply a dab of white glue to the end of each cord. When
the glue is dried the ends of the cord will slip through
the beads easily.
5. Pickup the left pair of cords and the right pair of cords
and slip one pony bead onto all 4 of these cords. Slide
pony bead up to knot; These 4 cords will be on top.
6. Separate the under set of 4 cords into 2 left, 2 right, and
bring them forward on top of the first set. Slip 3ne pony
bead onto this set of cords and push up below the first
bead.
7. Continue to braid (bringing rear pairs of cords arouns
top set of cords) until you have 28 pony beads on the
craft cord. As you braid, slide the pony beads up
towards each other.
8. Repeat steps 5 - 7 on the other side of the know.
See PB-ILLUS.GIF for details concerning steps 2 - 7.
9. Thread all end of the craft cord through the slots of
the concho starting from the back side to the front and back
through the second slot to the back. It is best to do this
2 or 3 cords at a time and keep the cords straight as you
go. Pull all of the ends so they are straight in the slot
and the beads are next to the cross bar on the back of the
concho.
10. Seperate the cord ends in groups of 4. Knot each group
snugly to the cross bar in the back of the concho. Tie
another knot in each group of 4 about 1 1/4" below the
first knot.
11. Put 5 pony beads on each group of 4. Cut the craft cord
so the ends are all the same length.
12. Put 2 small dots of glue on each spine of the snowflake
concho. Place a Gemocite stone on each spine with a "V"
pointed toward the center of the concho. Let Dry
