Step 1: Draw your pattern on a sheet of paper.
Start with a curved line for the top part of the necklace—use the collar from a shirt or sweater as a template.
Draw at least seven, evenly spaced lines radiating downward from the collar.
Make the one at the center the longest and the ones at the edges the shortest.
Connect them with a series of slightly-curved lines.
Go over the lines using a black marker.
This will make the pattern more visible in the later steps. -
Step 2: Tape a sheet of wax paper over the pattern.
