Thanks so much for the quick response to my question about the children s necklace length issue.
It will be a big to me and I'm sure lots of others fellow beaders.
Happy beading!! :)

Childs Necklace Too Short by: Anonymous
I made a Princess necklace for my neice's 4th birthday.
The beading was 8" because 6" looked way too small and then I added a clasp. The clasp broke which was a lucky accident.
I then used 6" of silk ribbon on each end, leaving plenty of length for tying it into a bow.
When I put it on her neck and tied it the actual length turned out to be about 12". If I had followed the recommended length of 6" for a four year old girl she would now be dead from strangulation.
She has a normal-to-skinny sized body, not overweight by any means. It fit comfortably and she wore it all day.

To previous comment - that is bracelet length as stated!

I think the 6 inches was meant for a bracelet (see above).
Under that it says 12-14 inches for a 2-4 year old's necklace. :-)
