How cute is this bauble design?? It sort of looks like lace - there’s something so stylish and elegant about it! It’s a really easy pattern to follow and can look so different depending on what colours you pick!
Supplies Needed:
- 1 x length of 60” nylon cording
- 4 x 19mm silicone beads
- 3 x 12mm silicone beads
- 9 x 9mm silicone beads
- 1 metal clip
- 1 soother
- Crafting needle
- Scissors
- Lighter
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Take your cording and fold it in half. At the middle point, feet your cord through the loop on your metal clip and create a loop knot.
2. Tie a knot 0.5" from the base of the clip.
3. Using your crafting needle, thread on one 19mm bead and push it all the way down over the knot to the clip.
4. Remove your crafting needle, and thread on to one string 3x 9mm beads and on the other 1x 12mm bead.
5. Push those beads all the way up to the first 19mm bead.
6. Put your craft needle back on both strings and thread on another 19mm bead. Push this bead all the way up tightly against the 12mm and 9mm beads just added.
7. Repeat step 3 & 4 three more times, until you have your bauble pattern. Make sure that you put the 9mm beads on the opposite side as the last pattern segment. You should have the pattern finished with a 19mm bead at the end. Push all the beads up tightly against each other and straighten out the design.
8. Make a loop with both strings about 3.25” long. Loop a knot as tight as you can against your last 19mm bead. Note that for US pacifier clip standards, the total length should be no longer than 8" (including the clip), so adjust length if needed.
9. Make a second loop knot about 0.5” from the double knot with your two loose strings. This will be a knot that sits in the middle of the last bead, so make sure your knot is in an appropriate spot.
10. Thread your crafting needle back on the loose strings and push the needle back through the last 19mm bead. Pull your small knot into the last bead.
11. Trim your strings, and melt the ends with your lighter. Make sure that you also run your lighter well over the large double knot to fuse it.
12. When your knots are cool, simply loop your soother of choice on the end.
