Giveaway: Chunky Herringbone Necklace Tutorial

For the past several weeks I’ve been puttering away at a brand new PDF tutorial for one of my favorite herringbone necklace designs. This project is great for showcasing larger accent beads and heavy fringe. I’ve used it to display everything from lampwork beads to beaded flowers, and it is the basis for some of my all time favorite designs. Even after many fun projects using this design, I've only just begun to explore the fun possibilities in dressing up the fringe. It's a great stash-busting project and a fun way to display a variety of beads.

Chunky Herringbone Fringe Rope Necklace Tutorial


The PDF tutorial for the Chunky Herringbone Fringe Necklace is finally complete, and is now available in my shop for instant download. The tutorial project features a striking colorblocked rope and bold wood bead accents. To celebrate the first of many new tutorials this year, I’m giving away one copy to a lucky reader!

  5. I have never tried this technique, but would most definitely love to give it a try. I have been mostly stuck on peyote, and brick stitch. But do have amazing beads that would definitely put to use with such a great awesome piece. Thank you for opportunity to enter in this great giveaway.

  9. Love your necklaces.
    I have so many beads I could use in this necklace but the first ones I would use are some wooden odd shaped beads along with green discs and semi precious sparkly reddish brown round stones.
    I have been waiting to use them together and think they would look great as a fringe in this necklace.
    Thank you for your wonderful blog, I have gained so much inspiration and knowledge from it.

  14. Very nice pattern. I don't know what I'd use for the focus beads so I might have to order something new. Or just go into some of my Czech beads.
