I used 2 pieces of 1mm satin cord (rattail) for the sides and just weaved over and under and through the Swarovski pearls in the centre.
I used two needles, one on the left and one on the right, so it was pretty quick to do. It wraps twice round my arm.
yuck, how gross is my arm! My skin is all either that lovely shade of red, or milk-bottle white. No tans round here...
My original idea for the closure was a woven knot. I chose Turk's Head ring from Celtic Knots Beaded Jewellery by Suzen Millodot. It took me hours!
It's less than an inch small so it's too small to use as the closure. I'm not sure what I'm going to do with it though as it did take me hours to make! I could bead embroider round it to make a pendent maybe... and another WIP is born.
