From a piece of wide braid and a piece of chain, you can easily make a beautiful necklace for a summer dress.
a piece of colored braid, a chain (you can use long pieces of chain from old unnecessary jewelry), a clasp for jewelry, fasteners (2 pcs.) and rings (4 pcs.), wide flat fasteners for the central part of the necklace, additional decor at will.
We start with the central part of the necklace. Take a piece of tape and make a knot according to the diagram below. Please note that the work begins with a banal knot, in which the braid should lie very freely. After that, pass the braid through the knot loops as if weaving a micro mat.
After the braid is laid in a knot, fasten the fasteners for jewelry to its ends (on the one hand, the necessary fasteners have a double-sided "crocodile", on the other - a loop). With the crocodile side, grip the ends of the braid firmly. Connect the loop with a piece of chain using a small ring. Also decorate the second side of the central part of the necklace.
Attach the jewelry clasp to the free ends of the chain.
The necklace is ready!
instead of braid, you can take a thick or thin dense cord. If you chose a thin cord, it must be laid in a knot in several parallel rows (see photo with a diagram).
A thick cord Celtic knot will look like this:
