How-To

Shimmery Lariat Necklace

With its flowing ribbon ends and spots of sparkle, this necklace can go with a pretty dress or a casual T-shirt.

Metallic ribbon and silvery bugle beads echo pearls' luster with a subtle sheen. If a few bugle beads come loose from the ties, don't fret -- they can be replaced easily.

Tools and Materials

  • Magna-Tac glue
  • Two 12-inch pieces of linen twill tape, toptrimming.com
  • Assorted pearl, cube, and bugle beads
  • 36-inch piece of metallic ribbon, in Silver, by Shindo; 212-868-9311
  • Beading needle and polyester thread
  • Rectangular sequins

Shimmery Lariat Necklace How-To

1. Generously apply glue to one side of the end of one of the twill tapes, and begin to press bugle beads into rows on the glue. Continue working until about 6 inches of the twill tape are covered in bugle beads. Repeat on the other twill tape. Let dry.

2. Attach a length of twill tape about 4 inches up from each end of the ribbon by knotting it to the ribbon.

3. Glue 2 pearls at each knot, 1 on each side. Using thread and a beading needle, stitch pearls in place. Then create a cluster to cover each knot with a mix of about a dozen additional pearls and beads. Working between the knots at about 4-inch intervals along the metallic ribbon, glue pairs of pearls to either side, and add 5 or 6 additional beads and sequins at each pearl point to make smaller clusters.
