Silver and Opaque White Necklace
FREE Instructions for this necklace. These instructions are for a basic necklace. As far a color, choice of embellishments and design, that is your choice.

• String loom with 40 warp threads.Start beading 5" from top of loom. Work 14 rows with 39 beads (this will become your fold over). Start your pattern on the 15^th row. Work next 19 rows, or until you have 1 bead left, by decreasing 1 bead, each side, each row.
• Remove work from loom, leaving warp threads as long as possible. Tuck in and knot, on wrong side, top threads only. You will now be using the long warp threads for your fringing.
• Working on the wrong side, starting at the top (row 15), thread beads and embellishments to desired length (I vary the length thruout) leaving enough thread to come back thru the beads and knot. Skipping the bottom bead (or pendant, flower or whatever), run the needle back thru the fringe and into about 3 beads, in the same row, in the body of the necklace. Make a small knot, dab with clear nail polish, run needle thru a few more beads, giving a small tug so that the knot disappears into a bead. Snip.
• Work each fringe until you have about 7 threads left. I like to work both sides of each row as I proceed down the piece. The last 7 threads, which are at the bottom middle, I usually make longer and save for my accent embellishments. *At this point you will probably have to run your thread vertically into the body of your work rather then horizontally into the beads.
• When you have finished your fringing, fold row 1 down to row 14, wrong side, and glue. Slip your chain thru the loop you have just created.
• Cut and glue on to the back of the loomed part (except the first 15 rows which form the loop) a piece of suede.
