Inventory Addition: 1.5mm Rattail Necklaces

I'm still updating my inventory with new and different crafts. This week, I'm working on using Rattail cord and macrame to produce some simple but elegant necklaces.

Here are two I made last night. Each necklace takes about an hour to construct. Pretty, aren't they?

The necklaces were made using 1.5mm Rattail cord in navy blue and burnt orange.

These two necklaces are other examples of the DIY kits I'll make for purchase over the next couple months. 

The kits will include all necessary material needed to construct a DIY necklace similar to what's shown in the image.

Here is a larger image showing the macrame in more detail.

The blue stone is set in a knotted 'bag', while the orange upside down donut necklace was created using square knots.

Each necklace takes about an hour to finish. The macrame is then dabbed with super glue in areas where the cord was cut. This prevents the cord from unraveling later on. The ends are also touch with a flame for the same reason.

After completing this type of necklace, I generally wait over night before wearing. In doing so, I'm assured the super glue has completely dried.

More On Kits:
Over the past couple weeks I have been talking about making DIY kits for purchase.

I'm still in the process of deciding which crafts I want to include in the kits and the cost. Once I work out all the details, I will include links showing where my kits can be purchased along with a link to the instructional videos. More info on the kits will be provided at a later date.    

Another short post for this week. Right now I have some ball chain necklaces I want to experiment with. Hopefully, the ball chains will end up in next weeks inventory! 

Coffee break over.
