Instructions

Note: Components and tools listed within this INSTRUCTIONS box and the printer-friendly PDF, if available, may have been discontinued since this project was published. Refer to the PURCHASE COMPONENTS and TOOLS AND OTHER SUPPLIES sections for current availability.

  1. To make this project, please begin by watching the video: How to Make a Beaded Bead with CzechMates Diamond Beads. In the course of this video you will learn how much thread to put on your needle, how many beads to pick up and of which color, how to bead weave the beads together to form a bead, and how to tie off your beading.
  2. Once your bead is complete, set it aside and start to make your necklace. Cut the length of chain you want, the clasp will add under 1/2 an inch.
  3. Onto one end of chain, crimp a crimp bead with loop. Feed the other end of the chain through your beaded bead, going from one side to the next, not front to back. Pull the chain through and then add a crimp bead with loop to the other end.
  4. Open a jump ring and link it to one of the end loops. Close the jump ring. Open the jump ring attached to the lobster clasp and link this to the other side of your necklace. Close the jump ring.
  5. All done. Enjoy!
