Beaded Cab Necklace

Tammy Powley
After you bead around a cab, the next step is to incorporate it into a finished piece of jewelry. This project shows how to turn the beaded cab into a focal element for a necklace.

You will need the following tools and supplies:

1 beaded cab
Ultra suede or leather scrap
E6000 glue
Beading wire
Choice of matching and accent beads
Crimp beads
Crimping pliers
Scissors
Wire cutters
Beading needle
Nymo or Silamide to match ultra suede
Pencil

A number of options are available to you when designing your necklace. Length, type of beads, choice of clasp are some of the items you will have to make decisions about. It all depends on personal preference. You can incorporate your preferences with the basic techniques I’m showing in my necklace.
