| Hi Everyone,
Does anyone have the instructions for making necklaces out of thread that all these crafters are making and selling. I've only seen a couple of them and can't figure out how to make them. They look like a triple strand of beads only the necklace is made completely from thread. The thread they use for them is about 1/16 inch wide..starts out with two threads on each side, and after about 1/8 of an inch thread is filled in completely from side to side, then there's another gap with one thread on each side and then filled in. I don't know how to explain it at all. I searched on the internet and couldn't find anything. This one lady told me they sold them at a church bazaar for $6.00 each and made over $2,000. Personally, I'd rather have real jewelry, but several ladies at our church want to make and sell them for our annual arts/crafts fair. I don't have one or I would take a photo and post it. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Rosie |

| Martha Stewart i believe may have what your looking for. I did have it in my favs, but it's gone. It was a necklace made of buttons I believe on 3 strands and I'm thinking made from one piece... |

| Hi all, I'm going to have to find one of the necklaces and post a photo. From a distance they sort of look like a cluster of colored pearls The instructions for the knotted thread necklace could be the one, but without knowing how to make one myself, I can't be certain. I'm sure puzzled about it. Thanks for all of your help. Rosie |

| I'm looking forward to searching such pictures, because this kind of necklace is really interesting. |
Here is a link that might be useful: Necklaces

| I'm not exactly sure what you are talking about, but I have two necklaces of tiny pearl beads that a "Bead expert" told me were crocheted with three strands of tiny pearls. These are quite old necklaces that belonged to my Mom. I can't figure it out and I don't remember her ever wearing them. I'm not good at posting pics either, sorry! |

| Is it what they call a 'floating' necklace? Where the threads almost appear invisible, and just the pearls showing? |

| Can a bracelet be made with this same pattern? Were they made as children and now crafter's are making them & selling them? I might of found the instructions at www.ehow.com? Look under the 'How To' tab and then search for, 'How to make a 'Knotted Thread Necklace'. Let me know if this is it or not, okay. My sister & I used to make these as girls and used the empty cardboard that held bolts of fabric and a T pin to secure our necklaces and bracelets at the top while knotting them. It is also what they call macrame. Good luck!!! |

| There is some thread that is heavier that the counted cross stitch thread, but made by the same company. It is designed for necklaces. Check under DMC web site. |
