| 1) |
Fold silk cord in half twice. The attached needle at one end of cord will make one side slightly longer. Thread the double-folded end through the pendant, from front to back, forming a loop. Thread cord ends through formed loop and gently pull, securing pendant to cord. Pendant should be centered on cord. |
| 2) |
Cut the center of the cord length still connected at opposite end, creating four loose ends. Apply a dot of glue to the tips of the cut ends to prevent fraying. Let glue dry. |
| 3) |
Tie a knot with all four cord ends held together, just above pendant. Separate strands into two groups of two. |
| 4) |
Working with one group, string a smoky quartz chip onto one strand; tie a knot above chip with both strands. |
| 5) |
Repeat step 4 for other group of two strands. |
| 6) |
Working with one group, tie a knot approximately 1/8 inch above last knot. String an orange bead onto one cord; tie a knot above bead with both cords. |
| 7) |
Repeat step 6 for other group of two strands. |
| 8) |
Working with one group, tie a knot approximately 1/8 inch above last knot. String three smoky quartz chips onto one cord; tie a knot above last chip with both cords. |
| 9) |
Repeat step 8 for other group of two strands. |
| 10) |
Repeat steps 6–9 five additional times. |
| 11) |
Working with one group, tie a knot approximately 1/4 inch above last knot. String an orange bead onto one cord; tie a knot above bead with both cords. |
| 12) |
Repeat step 11 for other group of two strands. |
| 13) |
Working with one group, thread both cord ends through one bead tip. Tie a double knot. Apply a dot of glue to knot. Trim cord ends and close bead tip with flat-nose pliers. |
| 14) |
Repeat step 13 for opposite side of necklace. |
| 15) |
Open a jump ring and slide on spring-ring clasp; attach jump ring to one end of necklace. Close jump ring. |
| 16) |
Slide the following onto a head pin: orange round bead, four smoky quartz chips, orange round bead and a smoky quartz chip. Form a wrapped loop above last bead. Trim excess wire. |
