Easy DIY Stone Necklace (Step-by-Step)

Step 1

Grab the three items on the list of materials to get started.

Step 2

Measure out 32 inches of the cord and cut it out. You’ll need a total of three cords for this project. The length depends on the size of the stone, as well as the length of the necklace.

Step 3

Fold the cords in half. Place the stone or crystal you’re using in the loop of the first cord and measure it.

Step 4

Then, make a simple overhand knot, ensuring that the bottom of the crystal sits snug in this first loop.

Step 5

Grab the second looped cord through that first loop. Then, pull the ends of the second loop through and knot it in place around the first loop.

Step 6

Make sure you leave enough room for the third knot to be made. The three knots should be evenly spaced. Now, grab the third loop and make your third know, just like you did with the second one.

Step 7

This is your base triangle and always keep an eye out for it as you’ll be working around this base.

Step 8

Grab two subsequent cords—one from neighbouring sections—and knot it about halfway between the two knots at their base. The new triangle you just made should be the same size as your base triangle.

Step 9

Place your pattern on a flat surface and continue to section and knot the cords the same way all around, working your way up. Remember to repeatedly fix the crystal into the base to make sure the knots in question sit perfectly around the crystal.

Step 10

Keep knotting the cords.When you reach the top of the crystal, gather all the cords and pull them into a knot at the center of the top of the crystal. Tug the cords to secure the knot and the crystal in place.

Step 11

Divide the cords into two sections of three cords each. Start braiding the three cords of each section and work your way up.

Step 12

Once you reach the desired length, fasten off with an overhand knot and trim the edges.
