This blog was loosely based on a pin I found, the washers were a bit bigger and the ribbon was a yellow/cream color that I thought didn't look interesting at all. Instead of a necklace, I decided to do a bracelet, but the concept can be applied to necklaces easily.
Materials:
-Small washers (whatever size you want)
-Ribbon (make sure that your ribbon will fit through the hole of your washers without folding too much)
Steps:
1. Take the end of your ribbon, (do not cut it from the rest of the ribbon because you don't know how much room you will need based on the size of your washers).
2. With a washer, take your ribbon and thread it from under your washer so that when you pull the ribbon it is on top of the washer. Move this washer down your ribbon to make room for the other washers.
3. With a second washer, take the end of your ribbon and thread it over the top of the second washer, now when you pull the end of the ribbon it will be under your washer.
4. Take the end of the ribbon and go back to your first washer, thread it back into the washer from above, and pull the end of your ribbon out from under the first washer while also pulling on the opposite side of the ribbon.
5. When you pull both of these ends your first two washers will be connected!
6. Repeat these steps, threading the ribbon through the second washer from below, and from the top on your third washer, then going back to your second and threading the ribbon from above it again. This will create the pattern, do not forget to pull tight the two ends of the ribbon each time you complete the threading of a new washer.
7. For my bracelet I threaded ten washers and left some room for the ribbon to be a part of the bracelet, and tie it off!
