You’ll need:  A few yards of black satin ribbon (1/4″ wide) and 2 packages of crimp sleeve connectors (I used two different sizes)

Steps:

Start by tying a knot and sliding on three connectors.  Weave the end back through the first connector and pull tightly.

Continue this pattern by pushing one end through a connector on each side and then putting both ends through an additional connector.  When you reach your desired length, tie a knot and then weave your ribbon back through the last connector.  Slip on an additional connector, and weave your ribbon back through the adjacent connector.

Continue the pattern of adding on one connector and then weaving your thread through the adjacent connector.   Once you have two full rows of connectors, you will want to begin tapering it on each side by threading your ribbon through two connectors on each side before adding a third row (as demonstrated in the bottom left.)  Continue making rows.

Continue along, forming a crescent shape.

Continue going along.  After three full rows of connectors, I opted to start using a smaller size to add a little bit of interest.  This is not necessary but adds just a little extra texture.  Continue tapering and adding rows until you get to the center.

Once you reach the center, finish the necklace off by weaving your ribbon back up through the right side of the necklace.  Tie a knot at the end, and leave about 14″ of ribbon on each side… you are done!
