Six-stranded necklace

Necklaces with many strands make fashionable jewellery. You can use a bead caddy spinner to help you threading the small rocaille beads. Otherwise, this necklace is very simple to make.

1

Cut six pieces of beading wire. Assemble these in a bead tip and a crimp bead which you squeeze flat. Cut off the ends of the beading wire. Close the bead tip around the bead.

Thread on a wooden bead over all the strands and continue with each individual wire. Thread on a large number of rocaille beads with a large bead placed randomly in-between.

The rocaille beads are easily threaded onto the wire on when using a bead caddy spinner. Squeeze the beading wire flat at the end with flat nose pliers before threading it. Put a lot of beads into the bead caddy spinner and turn clockwise. Hold the needle as shown with the hook to the left.

Finish with a wooden bead which assembles all the strands. Close in the same way as at the beginning. Attach a round jump ring on each side and a clasp on one side.
