Jewelry and Bead Craft - Green Beaded Necklace with Pendant

For this project you will need:

- 20 x 6mm green faceted diamond shaped glass beads
- 11 x 4mm green faceted round shaped glass beads
- six square glass beads
- 100 green 2.5 mm seed beads
- one large green glass pendant
- two clamshell fasteners
- one screw closure
- 4 crimp beads
- small flat pliers
- 1 roll of perlon thread 0.40 mm thick

Instructions:

1. Cut 2 equal lengths of perlon thread to the length you wish your necklace to be. You are working with double thread for extra stability because of the weight of the pendant.
2. Take a 4mm round faceted bead and insert 2 ends into the hole and pull the bead to the center of the threads and gather the 4 ends together..
3. Now take all 4 ends and insert them into the large pendant. The round bead prevents the pendant from falling off.
4. Working on one side (2 threads), start inserting the beads in the following order >>> one 4mm round >>> one 4mm round>>> one 6mm diamond >>> one 4mm round >>> one 6mm diamond >>>one 4mm round >>> one square >>> one 4mm round >>> one 6mm diamond >>> five seed beads >>> one 6mm diamond >>> five seed beads >>> one 6mm diamond >>> five seed beads >>> one square >>> five seed beads >>> one 6mm diamond >>> five seed beads >>> one 6mm diamond >>> five seed beads >>> one 6mm diamond >>> five seed beads >>> one square >>> five seed beads >>> one 6mm diamond >>> five seed beads >>> one 6mm diamond >>> five seed beads
5. Add your closure as described in the tutorial how to start and finish off a necklace or bracelet.
