IDEA: Pastel Furnace Glass Knotted Necklace

30 inch Necklace with Furnace Glass Beads

Materials:
2 pkgs. Pastel Furnace Glass (#24031) Qty:
2 pkgs. Frosted Jewel Tone Cubes (#24037) Qty:
3 pkgs. Clear Glass Rounds, 4mm (#22046-F) Qty:
1 pkg. White Silk (#49057) Qty:

Directions:
This necklace uses the pastel Furnace Glass beads alternating with the jewel toned frosted cube Czech beads. These are separated by 3 size 4mm clear glass Czech beads. Knots are placed between each 4mm bead and the cubic beads. If the hole in the furnace bead is too large, just add another 4mm bead for spacing and let the furnace bead slide over the 4mm beads for an interesting affect. There is no clasp. To finish, I remember not to put a knot between the first two

beads. After knotting between the second to last and final bead, I pull the thread back through the first bead and then tie the ends of the thread between the first and second bead. I set the two end knots with glue and then snip the loose thread ends. I have a nice spring loaded tool which helps snug the knots up against each bead. I used silk thread and a medium weight wire beading needle. Remember to include enough thread for the knots, about 75 inches doubled, or 150 inches total. Can't be bothered with knots? Don't worry, you can make this without knots and still have a beautiful necklace.
