With such a woven necklace complemented by feathers, success along with it is guaranteed!

HOW TO MAKE: Lay the braided cords next to each other. Mark the middle. String rings on the top cord, place them in the middle. Manually sew the cords in the middle to a length of 10 cm.

Tie the ends of the cords together with wire.
