3. Threads with colors that match the gemstone
4. A nylon thread (to help strengthen the whole necklace)
Let’s start creating our own work of are.
1. Thread as much colored and nylon threads as possible into the two needles.
2. Twine together the ends of the threads from both needles and make sure they are secured tightly.
3. Make the needle go through one side of the clasp and tie in attractive knots to secure the clasp.
4. Start slipping the needles through each and every bead, following a certain pattern to create a unique design. Make a knot after each bead in order to secure it to its location.
5. When the design is already done, slip the needles to the other side of the clasp and make a nice knot to secure it to its place. And there goes your own little work of art.
