Easy Gemstone Chip Spiral Beaded Cord Necklace Tutorial

[@yvettepugin4035]

Yay great idea beautiful necklace. I have some Black Cord, Jade wrapping wire and Fluorspar chips in my stash to make this. Don't have any big hole beads but I'll make it work. Hopefully there'll be some chips left over for a Tree of Life Pendant which is what I bought them for. I'll post a pic on your Pintrest page of my attempt.
Now that we are moving into winter here in South Africa, I have been at my beading table again plotting and planning pieces to make for the shop on my new website which will hopefully go live in May.
Thank you for the generous continuous inspiration. 🌺🌺🌺

Very cool design, I love it!

Thank you so much!

That's definitely a fun necklace for summer. I thought you found large hole chip beads somehow. Lol. I like how you did that with wire and alternating colors. Very pretty. Thanks!!

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thank you, Crystal! :D

[@kathyryan4153]

Very nice, Gina...great way to use gemstone chips....can you use 1 mm plain leather?...I might try this...TFS

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

Thanks, Kathy! The 1mm on its own will probably be too thin, but perhaps if you braid several strands together to thicken it up? Thanks for watching!

[@kathyryan4153]

Thanks, Gina...great idea...honestly never thought of that and think it would work nicely.

B-7000, not E-6000? I’ve never seen it! Is it better?

[@ORCHIDandOPAL]

I need to look into it to be sure, but it might be the "off-brand?" lol. The reason I got this kind was #1 to try it and compare to e-6000, and #2 because it came with the needle tip attachment for tiny spaces and precision. I am happy to report it works as well (to me) as the e-6000. Thanks for watching! :)
