| | |  So I wanna make my girlfriend's xmas present..
Sign in to disble this ad
Alright so heres the deal
Me and my girl both play bass, and I figured why not get her something bass related for xmas
But I kinda want it to have some kinda meaning behind it
Soooo...
I thought of buying a bass clef pendant and making a necklace outta a G-string. Clever huh?
But I dunno how exactly I'd pull it off. Any advice? |

First sized it to make sure I could get it over my hand, then wove it back and forth really tightly, ran the end through the ball end and crimped it off. I get comments on it all the time. Most people have no clue what it really is.

You'll then have to find a way to attach a clasp to both ends.
And don't forget to make sure the length is correct.
