This playful necklace is full of monkey business. Czech glass monkeys and coconut lend a jungle vibe for a fun summer style.

Supplies you’ll need:

  • 0.5mm cord
  • coconut beads in two sizes
  • Czech glas hibiscus
  • 5 tiny green tassels
  • 3 Czech glass monkey beads
  • Czech glass rondelles
  • lobster clasp
  • jump rings
  • eye pin
  • 2' small paperclip chain
  • 2 resin rounds
  • crimp tube and cover
  • 1 soldered jump ring

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

Cut 30" of cord. This coconut monkey necklace is 22" finished including the clasp. Please adjust the cord length to your desired fit. String the beads on in the order shown.

Step

Step 2

Feed the cord through a crimp tube and through the hook loop a few times. You can add a tassel onto the cord for a little embellishment.

Step

Step 3

Bring the cord back down through the crimp bead. Crimp the tube using a crimping tool or pliers.

Step 4

Follow Steps 2 & 3 to attach the soldered jump ring on the other side.

Step

Step 5

Slide the Czech glass rondelles, hibiscus and tassel as hown onto an eye pin. Slightly bend the bead link to give it a slight curve. Create a loop at the other end with your pliers or a looper tool. Use the jump rings to attach the bead link to the chain ends. Now you can see how the necklace fits and cut the chain so you can attach the jump rings and clasp.
