How to make

When making this necklace you actually go from left to right continuously. This is a different way of threading than normal but it is very easy!

At step 1 you start by threading the Miyuki Tila and Miyuki Rocailles beads, you do this alternately. You keep repeating this until you reach the desired length of the necklace.

Next, in step 2, go through the other threaded hole of the last tila bead you threaded, then start the next "row. To do this you thread 4 seed beads onto your thread, and again go through the first threaded seed bead, then when you pull your thread you will see that the beads are lying as shown in the picture. You continue with this step again all the way through until you reach the end of your necklace again.

At step 3 we are going to add the superduo beads. You start with a super duo, and then go through the rocaille sticking out on your necklace. Then you thread another super duo, and pick up a new rocaille. Again, you keep repeating this until you reach the end of your chain.

At the last step 4 we are going to make the last row of the chain. You go through the last superduo bead again, and then you do the same as in step 2. You thread 4 seed beads onto your thread and again go through the first threaded bead. Then you go through the next super duo bead and thread 1 seed bead onto it. You keep alternating this until the end of your necklace.

To finish this necklace, start your thread again at the end of your necklace, making sure the thread comes through 1 of the 2 threaded holes of the tila bead. Then thread 3 beads and go through the other threaded hole of the tila. There you then tie a knot so that it is secure. Then you go back through some more beads through the security, and put an additional knot. You do this on the other side as well.

Finally, you attach an extension chain and lobster clasp to the ends through a jumpring.
