The Zen of Stringing Recipe

---

Using a combination of materials and some simple stringing techniques, you can create a masterful design of color and placement. Working with favorite beads, charms, and a focal pendant, create a lyrical story with just knots…see how cords come together to share a story and then go their separate ways. This is an All Levels Project but not one to rush. Give yourself a weekend to explore the path you'll take. The recipe will make a necklace 16-28 inches or more in length.
