Video: Cluster Necklace and Lariat

Create your own beautiful necklace!

Jane uses our lovely Leather Thong, silver-plated jewellery findings and an assortment of beads in these quick and simple necklaces.

What will I need?

To make a Single-Cluster Necklace or a Double-Cluster Lariat:

• Headpins
• Jump Rings
• Thick Leather Thong
• Leather Crimps
• Sprung Heavy Hook

You will also need a selection of beads to make the clusters – feel free to have any you like, but if you want your earrings to be similar to the ones in the video use some of our High Quality Glass Mix and some Decorated Metal Beads. For a single cluster necklace you will need approximately 16 beads. A Double-Cluster Lariat will require approximately 24 beads.

Jane uses Cutters, Half-Round-Nosed Pliers and Round-Nosed Pliers. Alternatively, use a pair of Multi Pliers.
