A Gift Tutorial



Later this month I need to give a gift. I have decided to make a necklace and hear that the birthday girl likes purple...so amethyst it will be! I've scrutinized my bead collection and found some beautiful chips and nuggets that I can combine with delicate ivory mother of pearl beads and gold findings.

Step 1:
Gather stones and supplies.


Step 2:
Lay out design on bead board, checking for proper length.




Step 3:
Cut length of flexible beading wire and string stones in sequence.


Step 4:
Attach clasp!

Step 5:
Wrap it all up real pretty!
