Over measure your main String. This will be the necklace part also so make it super long. If you're using a second color it it doesn't need to be as long as the first. About 2 1/2feet long maybe.

Decide on a pattern or design (or just freestyle it) and start wrapping. To do this I wrapped OVER my secondary color five times then lifted it up and wrapped under it 3 times.  Then repeat.

I wanted to wrap with my secondary string for a bit so I did an extra wrap and pulled my first string around my second; Pulling it tight against it. Then lay the first string against the ring.

At the end you should have something like this. The left string in the picture is the string I wrapped with. The one to the right was the long "tail" that we left alone. Tie a knot with them.

You have two basic options. An adjustable one piece necklace that uses the extra string to add embellishments OR make a clasp necklace and use "how to add to your wrapped bottle rings 1"

Step 16 of 26
Carefully retighten and spread your string back to cover any gaps. It should now be facing downward. This will hold your center charm. You can add it now but I'm going to wait.

Step 20 of 26

You don't wanna tie it this close to the end because you'll have something dangling off the ends.

Step 21 of 26
At almost it's largest it will look like this. The closer the knots are to each other the bigger your necklace is. It should be long enough to slip over your head. Don't cut your strings!

Step 22 of 26
Put it on and measure it to a comfortable length. The strings hanging down are what you'll use to put your beads in. Don't cut them yet you still need extra to tie it off.

Step 23 of 26
I grabbed a pretty random assortment of beads and a coin with a hole in it. That will be my center piece. I may paint it first so I'm going to add my beads before I decide.

Step 24 of 26
String your beads, tie a knot where you want it to end. Snip it and put a dab of glue. I've mentioned that I use fabric glue, I also like to glue the knot to the last bead for a stronger hold.
