How to Make a Twist Necklace
Necklaces made from embroidery floss, pearl cotton, yarn, hemp, or plastic or leather lacing add color to the neckline of all who wear the item. You can make a twisted necklace from any string-like, easily knotted material. The twist in the necklace occurs through the knotting process. You can make a 16-inch twisted necklace in approximately 30 minutes.
