-18 (1”) Styrofoam balls

-1 spool of coordinating all-purpose thread (We use coats Dual-

Duty Plus®)

strip by cutting straight across, squaring off the end.

Step 2.

MAKE THE BIAS TUBE

A. First fold one of the short ends of the bias strip 1/2” in toward

the WRONG side and press. Then fold the bias strip in half

lengthwise with the RIGHT side together matching the long

edges and pin them together. Stitch a 1/2” seam along the

pinned edge. Backstitch at each end.

Finished size: 36” long

Step 1.

CUT OUT AND ATTACH THE BIAS STRIPS TOGETHER

From each of the 5 coordinating fabrics:

-Cut 1 bias strip from each of the prints – measuring 18 1/2” in

length

B. Turn the bias strip RIGHT side out. Attach a safety pin to one

end of the tube. Insert the pin into the tube and using it as a

guide, push it through itself. Once turned RIGHT side out, press

the tube ﬂat.

A. Place the fabric on a ﬂat surface with the RIGHT side up.

Fold the fabric RIGHT sides together, matching the opposite

corners and making a triangle shape. Press a crease on the

fold. Then open the fabric and cut along the creased edge.

Step 3.

MAKE THE FABRIC NECKLACE

A. Tie a knot at the center

of the tube and pull it taut.

Insert one of the Styro-

foam balls inside the tube

and push it down to the

knot. Tie another knot on

the other side of the ball.

Continue to insert a ball

and then tie a knot until

you reach one end of the

tube. Then repeat this pro-

cess on the opposite side

of the center knot (approximately 16-18 balls).

B. Starting on the RIGHT side at the cut bias edge, using a

ruler and pencil,

measure and

mark 4” over at

the top and bot-

tom edge of the

fabric. Match the

2 marks and draw

a line connecting

them. Cut along

the marked line to

create a bias strip.

B. With a knot close to

each end of the tube, in-

sert the last Styrofoam ball

inside the end of the tube

that has not been turned

under. Place the folded

end of the tube over

the raw end and pin it in

place. Slipstitch around the

tube to close the opening.

C. Repeat Steps 1A and 1B to cut out 1 bias strip from each of

the other 4 pieces of fabric.

Nice Job! Your Fabric

Necklace is complete!

Enjoy!
