I got inspired and wanted to make a unique hem-stitch necklace with suede cords. I bet many of you may be interested in such chic style and creative pattern of this necklace. Therefore I share the detailed instructions on how to make this suede cord necklace here.

Necessities for the hem-stitch suede cord necklace:

6mm brown suede cord
4mm brown glass pearl bead
Memory wire
Scissors
Round nose plier
Flat nose plier
Wire cutter
Bead reamer
Glue gun

Instructions on how to make suede cord necklace:

Step 1: Thread suede cord onto memory wire

1st, cut a 50cm length of brown suede cord, and punch a hole with reamer at one end;
2nd, cut a coil length of memory wire and thread right end through above hole on suede cord;
3rd, with a 2cm interval, punch another hole on suede cord;
4th, thread wire through the second hole;
5th, glue the bottoms of first and second hole with glue gun; the first cord loop is done;
6th, the bottoms of holes are estimated 0.5cm long, so leave 1cm interval and punch the third hole;
7th, thread wire through the hole;
8th, decide interval and make second loop;
9th, when punching odd numbered holes, leave 1cm length intervals with previous hole;
10th, when punching even numbered holes, decide intervals according to your necklace design, as these intervals determine the size of each loop.

Step 2: Do the hem-stitch with suede cord

1st, continue punching and threading;
2nd, glue bottoms together when necessary;
3rd, my version is each half of the hem-stitch has 13 various loops and the center one is the largest;
4th, glue the last loop perfectly and cut off excess suede cord;
5th, push suede cord hem to memory wire’s center and add one brown glass pearls onto each end;
6th, evenly pull the hem and adjust it into perfect form.

Step 3: Wire wrap clasp with pliers

1st, bend one wire end into 90 degrees with flat nose;
2nd, loop the end with round nose;
3rd, bend the other end into 180 degrees;
4th, adjust the clasp.

The final suede cord necklace will look like this:
