Yesterday I was ogling over a tulle skirt, so decided to find a more wearable to incorporate the look into an everyday outfit (although I could be persuaded to wear a tutu daily). With a couple spools of Midori’s woven metallic ribbon, I created a whimsical necklace in no time.

Wire Thread

Needle

3/4″ Midori woven metallic ribbon

Clasp

Jump rings

Optional chain

1. Thread your needle with a piece of wire that is the desired length of your necklace

2. Then wrap the excess end around the wire, leaving a little loop at the top

3. Tie the other end of the wire to a jump ring

4. Start folding your ribbon accordion style onto the needle

5. Start with smaller folds, as you move towards the middle, make the folds larger, then smaller again towards the other end

6. Use both spools of ribbon, add a third for a longer necklace,

7. Add jump rings onto the wire loop at the end, and add the clasp with a jewelry pliers

OR add a piece of chain to the jump rings to make the necklace longer
