Ive just spent about 2 hours trying to find the best way to attatch a biggish expensiveish pendant to a beaded necklace!!
I tried it with a chain link, looked awful, I tried it with a beaded eyepin which then looped onto the necklace and pendant either end, awful and didnt look sturdy enough.
Finally I experimented with the tigertail, which is the same colour as the beads(Im soooo colour co-ordinated)luckily it bent back on itself and quite easily threaded through the smaller beads,so this was the best and safest way to attatch the pendant.
But some tigertail is showing.
At this stage(as Ive threaded and rethreaded those bloomin beads umpteen times)) im not too bothered, as it doesnt look hidious but I was just wondering if its a sin to allow the tigertail to show?
