    Quick Project Steps

    This PotomacBeads tutorial teaches you how to use a right angle weave to create the charming Chip Fringe Necklace.
    1.Using a size 10 needle, put a stop bead onto about 5 feet of size 6 thread, leaving about a foot long tail. Pick up 4 11/0s and thread back up the first three beads. Add 3 more seed beads and sew into the opposite side of the last bead in the first group. This makes the second RAW unit.
    2.Watch the Chip Fringe Necklace to see how to complete the chain and design the fringe.
    3.Add a wire guard and clasp to the end of the fringe necklace. Reinforce by threading through another time. Sew the thread down into the chain. Tie a knot onto a bridge thread. Sew the knot into the design. Burn off the thread end.
    Have fun with this Chip Fringe Necklace design. You can make different variations by using new beads in the fringe to really change up the look. PotomacBeads has a great selection of quality beads to choose from.
