Pearl Ribbon Necklaces & Bracelet

Materials:
  • Pink and white pearls from Hobby Lobby
  • Pink and black ribbon from Hobby Lobby
  • Needle

I'm not quite sure the mm on the pearls I used. To use a comparision, when I put one up to a ruler it's like .3 in or .8 cm. The ribbon I used does not have cm/mm on it so measuring it, it comes out to be about .6cm. Cut enough ribbon for the necklace/bracelet leaving some room to tie a ribbon. I stitched a needle perpendicular to the ribbon through one of the ribbon's ends. I used this needle to thread through the opening in the pearl. If you thread to little when you pull it through it'll rip the ribbon. If you thread too much it won't fit in the opening. Just play around with it to get it right. I picked an appropriate size ribbon compared to the pearl opening because I didn't want the pearls sliding on the ribbon. I just continued to thread each pearl pushing it down the ribbon but leaving some room for "half" of the bow.
