Embellished Ndebele rope

Rebecca Peapples shows you how to weave and embellish an Ndebele rope all at once. The gold rope at top left illustrates the basic technique, embellishing on the diagonal; the silver rope sets the embellishment vertically. The two ropes at right display Rebecca’s two-step process. Directions are given for the bronze and cream necklace. The gold rope places more plain rows between embellishments and adds a vertical line of beads between embellishment groups.
