The classic concertina has been given an elegant twist with mother-of-pearl plastic beads, a silver tassel and light white feathers.
Divide an 84cm long weaving paper strip in two and glue these two parts together using Clear Marker as shown in the photo.
Make a concertina from the entire length of the paper strips.
Make a small tassel from the silver thread. Twist the thread ten times around four fingers.
Gather the tassel with an approx. 20cm long piece of silver thread. Tie a double knot.
Pull a flat wavy mother-of-pearl plastic bead down over the top of the tassel.
Pull a small and a large plastic bead onto the thread using a beading needle.
Make a hole at the bottom of the concertina and with a beading needle and feed the thread through the hole.
Tie a knot.
Close the layers with Glue Spots.
Cut open the loops of the tassel.
Push the feather up into the wavy bead. You may apply a small blob of Clear Marker onto the end of the feather beforehand.
Make a hole at the top of the concertina using a needle.
Insert a beading needle threaded with silver thread through the hole and pull on a bead. Finish with a knot.
