I made this necklace for a birthday present and it was so easy! The beads do take a bit of time to attach but you can do this while listening to some upbeat music and you'll get it down in no time ;]
What you'll need:
40cm x string of pearl beads
40cm x length of ribbon
10cm x length of fringe (or longer if you wish!)
glass beads (enough for each tassel)
1 x necklace chain
I bought all the above materials from the local emporium store, in total it cost less than $3!
(You will also need hot glue and a lighter or some matches)
Steps:
1. Cut the length of fringe you want for the necklace, and burn the edges of the fringe to prevent fraying (careful not to let it burn too quickly or you might lose more than you expect!)
2. Place the ribbon and string of pearls together, and attach the necklace clasp on each end so they are held together.
3. Glue the fringe onto the ribbon, in the centre, then glue the pearls on top, so the fringe is sandwiched in the middle
3. Thread one bead onto the end of each tassel, then tie a little knot to secure. (Optional: I also burn the tassel after you have tied the knot to give it a neater edge)
4. Put on your new necklace and enjoy! I think it would work well with longer fringe, you can always trim it to taper more in the middle. You could also attach a rosette or something similar to one side for extra prettiness :]
