Coral Flower Adjustable Necklace – Free Project

This simple, casual cord necklace is perfect for easy, breezy Summer. It whips up quick with just a few knotted beads and a sliding knot at the back. The adjustable closure is a versatile feature and also makes the project inexpensive to make!

 Materials

6 coral 8mm large-hole Swarovski pearls
14 gold size 6 seed beads
1 coral 30mm ceramic flower pendant
48″ of dark brown 1mm waxed cotton cord

Tools
scissors
ruler


Finished size: adjustable
1: Cut 12″ of cord and set aside.
2: Fold the longer cord in half and form a lark’s head knot onto the pendant’s loop.
3: Use one cord to string 3 seed beads; form an overhand knot. String 1 coral pearl; form an overhand knot. Repeat two more times. Repeat entire step for the other side of the necklace.
4: Use the 12″ cord from step 1 to form a sliding adjustable knot. To create this knot, follow the step by step instructions from my previous tutorial found here.

    I've got a show coming up in August. Maybe I'll make up some of these because they will be quick to make and I have tons of pendants. Thanks for sharing!

    This is fantastic! I make lampwork pendants and I've needed an inexpensive cord solution, thank you so much for this!
