Green WIth Envy

Using your semi precious stone and seed beads this looping necklace is a step up for those of you who love stranding but feel confined by simple single strands

STEP ONE

This Necklace is done in double thread, so for an eight strand 50cm necklace thread the needle with 9m of thread (8m for necklace, 1m for finishing off both ends). Tie a reef knot making sure that the knot is not at the end. See diagram 1.

STEP TWO

Button hole one seed bead as a stopper bead, by threading the bead till almost at the end, then thread through the loop at the end, then continue to thread seed beads until work measures one metre. Randomly thread bead mix occasionally threading some more seed beads until complete work measures 4 metres. See Diagram 2.
