Crocheted necklace with varying-size loops. The examples given were done in relatively thick yarn, but I think it could look quite nice with embroidery thread. Note that the necklace needs to be blocked in order to sit flat.

You have a nice donut bead/stone and want to wear it as a pendant but do not know how to present it better? Today I will show how to make a Cat Claw Knot .

Various suggestions for things to decorate with acrylic skins. Also a demonstration of making pendants with bezels, cabochons and E-6000 glue. The interesting thing here is that the videoer considers it sufficient to just glue the cabochon down (rather than gluing the skin down first), because that will hold everything in place underneath it, presumably because the cabochon will glue itself to the bezel sides. Worth a try.

This simple, delicate necklace ties in the back and is made from satin ribbon and anodized rings. 16 gauge 5/16” ID Rings, Saw Cut 1/4″ wide satin ribbon, about 2 yards, for the large rings

Useful rule-of-thumb data for lengths for bracelets, anklets and necklaces.

Macrame owl tutorial, in Russian, but since it is 95% visuals, the language doesn't matter. This design has the interesting features of: (a) tufty owl ears, (b) the wings are joined to the body with half-hitches over multiple cords, (c) the binding for the tail is done with whipping rather than square knots or half-hitches. This makes it a bit more uniform.

This tutorial shows how to wrap a stone or a cabochon with macrame. This is using the "looping technique", where a braid of square knots is made with loops on either side, and then the cord is threaded through the loops and tightened to hold the cabochon in place. This method is versatile, because one can change the size of the loops to capture larger or more irregular stones. This tutorial itself is rather long, probably longer than it needs to be. It covers not only the cabochon-wrapping, but three different methods of finishing off the pendant/necklace as well.

Interesting bead-stringing technique using TWO strands of "stringing wire" (AKA tigertail). This requires pretty-coloured tigertail because the tigertail is going to be visible rather than covered entirely with beads. This is done by alternating between stringing the beads on single wires (one or both) and stringing the beads on two wires together, with enough space between the beads that the tigertail is exposed. Because the beads alternate in this way, the beads strung on both wires together hold the other beads in position, as the stiff-but-flexible tigertail opens with the separate wires, and closes when the wires are strung together.

The author describes the necklace as "amazingly colorful, stylish couture necklace" but I don't think so. Plastic beads are plastic beads. However, I do like the idea of making links with zip-ties strung with (glass) beads. It has interesting chain-maille-ish potential, if one could do a maille weave that was more than the usual 2-in-1 chain.

This video instruction teaches how to make a beautiful cord with beads; large beads and small beads, making a shell-like edge.

Pendants made using nesting punches and metallic acrylic paints, domed with resin to make beautiful jewelry, buttons and more.

Pattern by Esther Chandler. A flattish crocheted cord, to which one can optionally add beads; good for jewellery.
