Pearl Necklace Makeover With Tatting

Step 3The First Pearl

The First Pearl
Pull the first pearl down to the ring. Carefully tie the needle thread around the core thread keeping that thread straight.

Place the needle on the pearl and start the first chain. I chose to do 15 ds between each pearl, but you can chose to do more or less to create the look you'd like. Close and tie.

Hi Pamela.
Thank you for this great re-use idea! Can you explain what you mean in the first sentence when you say tie the "needle thread around the core thread" Do you mean using the "tail" & putting it through the bead with the bead needle?
Thanks again, you truly are amazing & an inspiration!
