          A Whale of a Tail Necklace Tutorial

          Created by: Veronica Greenwood

          Designer Tips
          • Cut three equal lengths of waxed cord (make sure to cut enough cord for the knotting).
          • Fold all three cords in half and slide your pendant to the center of one of the cords.
          • Knot all three cords together on each side of the pendent (you will have one cord thru the pendent and two cords behind the pendant).
          • All knots in this project are basic overhand knots.
          • Randomly knot and add beads in a pattern that you like until you get your desired look and length.
          • On first side, cut off the extra cord and put all three cord ends into one of the center crimps. Using needle-nose pliers, smash the center crimp.
          • Repeat on other side of necklace.
