This tutorial from PotomacBeads shows you how to make our ribbon necklace. To create this necklace, you need only ribbon (the size of your choice), your choice of beads (10mm+ works best), and your choice of beading thread. These necklaces are especially popular during the summer. Enjoy!
Folding Style:
Cut ribbon at a diagonal to prevent fraying, starting with about a yard.
Leave 12 inches of ribbon blank for tying.
Fold the ribbon in a triangular form 12 inches down, sewing through with a needle and thread.
Add an 8/0 seed bead, then your chosen bead, followed by another 8/0 seed bead.
Fold the ribbon in the opposite direction at the end of the bead, sewing through the middle of the triangle.
Crinkling Style:
Begin with two yards of ribbon for more slack.
Fold the ribbon in an accordion style, sewing through all layers at one end.
Add your beads between folds, securing by sewing through the accordion folds on the opposite side.
Finish by tying knots to secure the thread and hiding them with a knot in the ribbon.
Create a double or tripple leather wrap with an extra flair. Use seed beads to create a delicate border to showcase a mosaic of gemstones, crystals and glass. This wrap is comfortable to wear and makes a great piece to take (or make) on a summer vacation destination.
