Step-by-step instructions
Step 1
Stop bead
String a stop bead and bring it down to the end of a thread, leaving about 6 inches or more for your tail. Pass the thread back through the seed bead twice to form two loops around the stop bead to secure the bead in place.
Step 2
Beads pattern
*String alternating one 3 mm seed bead and one 6 mm seed bead until you use 23 (3 mm) beads and 22 (6 mm) beads*.
Then string alternating one 5 mm bead and one 12 mm bead until you have 11 (5 mm) beads and 10 (12 mm) beads.
After that repeat in **.
Step 3
Clasp
At the end, fix a spring ring clasp. Reinforce the clasp’s hole and the last seed bead.
Then bring the needle through several beads and secure the thread.
Step 4
Remove the stop bead. Place a jump ring on a tag, then string the tag. Reinforce the tag loop and the very first seed bead. Bring the needle through several beads and secure the thread.
Step 5
Cut both tails of the thread very closely to beads and starch your beadwork to hide knots.
