Tin Cup Lariat

This simple necklace can be made in a jiffy and looks great dressed up or with casual wear!

What a great gift for friends and family. This can be made long or short depending on the look you

want. We wrote the instructions for a 20” lariat.

Materials

• 11 6-8mm Pearls

• 14 4mm Crystal bicone beads

• 2 6mm Crystal bicone beads

• 1 pkg. #4 Griffin needle end silk cord

• 2 end tips

• 2 24g headpins

Tools

• Scissors

• Awl

• Cocktail Straw

• Chain Nose Plier

• Wire Cutter

• Clear Nail Polish

Step One

Determine the amount of distance you want between the beads and

cut the straw to that length.

Step Two

Unwind the silk cord and tie a knot at the end. Place the bead tip on

the cord with the cup facing the knot and slide onto the cord.

Step Three

Slip the straw onto the cord until it is resting against the end tip. Tie

a simple overhand knot and put the awl into the center of the knot, slide the knot

down until it hits the straw. Pull the knot tight while removing the awl,

remove the straw.

Step Four

Place a bead or a grouping of beads onto the cord until it is resting against the

knot. Tie a simple overhand knot and put the awl into the center of the knot, slide the

knot down until it hits the bead. Pull the knot tight while removing the awl. It is

important to keep the tension tight on the cord, especially at the tip of the awl, so the `

knot does not relax allowing a space between the bead and the knot. (This takes practice

so don't get discouraged if your first few knots are loose)

Step Five

Continue to alternate steps 3 and 4 until you reach the desired

length.

Step Six

Tie a knot after the last bead and slip the other end tip onto the cord with the cup

facing out. Slip the straw onto the cord and tie a knot. Slide the straw off and pull the

end tip up to the knot.

Step Seven

Trim the excess cord and put a drop of nail polish onto each of the knots.

Step Eight

Stack a few beads onto each of the headpins and wire wrap closed.

Step Nine

Slip the loops of the headpins onto the end tips and gentley

close the loops on the end tips.

That's it. A beautiful lariat! To wear just drape around the neck

and tie in a knot in the front.
