How to close a cord necklace?

Braided cord is a cord that tends to fray. To make it easier to thread the beads, we used a soft split needle, specially designed for beading. You'll also find more tips for stringing beads on a fraying cord on our technical datasheet.

Tutorial steps

Step 1
Necklace with braided cords and epoxy pendants : Step 1

Cut your cord to the desired length. Here, 37 cm. Don't forget to take into account the 3 cm clasp depending on the desired length of your necklace.

Step 2

Take one side of the lace clasp and close it over the cord: Place the end of the cord in the lace clasp and hold it in place with a pair of pliers. For a better hold, let the cord protrude slightly to hold it with the pliers.

Step 3

With the other hand, take a pair of flat-nose pliers and fold the sides of the lace pliers over each other.

Step 4

Then take your beads: 4 flower Rondelle beads, 2 round beads and 1 pendant. Slide the beads onto the cord. Use a beading needle if necessary. It'll be easier if the cord unravels. Thread the cord through the needle, then the needle with the cord through the bead.

Step 5
Necklace with braided cords and epoxy pendants : Step 5

Thread in the following order: a rondelle flower bead, a round bead, a rondelle flower bead, the pendant, a rondelle bead, a round bead and a final rondelle bead.

To finish your necklace, close the second clamp on the cord as in steps 2 and 3.
