NECKLACE

Cut 9 strands of yarn 3 1/2 times the desired finished length of necklace.  Put cords tog and fold in half.  Tie ends in a knot.  Holding the knot in your hand, slip the loop over a hook and pull tight.  Slip a pencil through the knotted end and twist until cord is so tight that it can’t be twisted further and starts to double back on itself.  Put 1 finger in center of cord and carefully fold in half, letting 2 ends of cord twist tog.  Knot both ends.  Fold cord in half and slip loop through hole in bead (or ring).  Pull ends of cord through loop, fastening bead in place.  Tie at back of neck to secure.
