Lariat necklace

6 May 2009

Lariat necklaces are traditionally very long and unattached at their ends so that you can tie and knot them in different ways to suit your style. We used 1m of bead "rope/string" and pre-packed unpolished glass beads. Wax or super glue can be applied to the ends of the rope to keep it from fraying and harden the ends to make it easier to string the beads. Groupings of beads are strung and kept in place by double knots. The spaces between the groupings are about 4 to 5 cm. The amount of beads in every grouping are not always even, but I tried to keep the lenght of the various groupings even.
