Ribbon & bead necklaces/bracelets

Hi everyone,

Thursday, I watched a fashion show and one of the outfits
featured a necklace & bracelet set. The set appeared to be beads
strung on organza ribbon, and was wrapped several times around the
neck and/or wrist (at least 3 times from what I saw).

Has anyone made this type of necklace or bracelet? What type
of ribbon did you use? Was the ribbone wired? What type of clasp did
you use? Or did you just tie a bow?

I have some gorgeous square cat's eye beads that I thought
might work with this style of necklace/bracelet. The beads have been
sitting in my stash for a couple of years and I would love to be able
to wear them.

thanks....Linda

Use unwired ribbon, about 1/4 - 3/4 inch depending. Use a big-eye needle to
thread the ribbon through the beads.
