Add a fancy stone in a striking shade to underline the bold statement still further. Your friends will be green with envy!
1Cut one metre ofmonofilament, addfour 5301 beads to itand move to the centreof the thread. Take theleft end of themonofilament andthread through the first
bead on the right-handside, allowing the strandto create a loop; thethread will cross overinside this one bead.Pull tight.
2Thread a beadthrough each endand allow them to dropdown to the loop ofbeads. Add a bead to theleft-hand end of themonofilament and threadthe right-hand endthrough this bead in theopposite direction(crossing over inside thebead). Repeat another 16times to create a chain.
3Add a bead to oneend and threadthrough the first beadyou added, taking carenot to twist the chain ofbeads. Add a beadto the other end,thread through thefirst bead in theopposite direction and
then through the beadadded at the start ofthis step, so the threadscrossover inside thebead. Pull tight to forma ring, *(Fig. 1).

Threadthe end that is pointingdownwards (towardsthe ring) through thenext bead on the originalring. Add two beads tothe end that is pointingupwards. Thread theother end through thelast bead added (so thatthe ends cross overinside the bead).
5Continue addingbeads in this wayuntil you are back at thefirst bead added in stepfour. Add one bead toclose the ring, crossingthe thread over in thebead. Thread one of the
ends down to thebottom row threadingthrough three beads.Thread through all ofthe outer beads in acircle going through thefirst two beads twice.

Split & Jump Rings
These are essential linking elements in thecreation of jewellery, and these different sizedand plated components can be used forattaching clasps or as an alternative to them.The only difference is that split rings have twoloops like a key-ring - and therefore offer moresecurity, although jump rings are perfect forattaching pendants.

and in varying diameters for many kinds ofstringing materials.
