Please note that the colours for the products illustrated in the image above may not match the 'Products List'.
Step 1
Firstly thread on enough seed beads in the sea foam colour to create a strand that will fit around your neck, add a lobster clasp to one and and a jump ring to the other to secure the beads and ensure you can fasten the necklace around your neck.
Step 2
Now cut roughly 40 cm of thread and do this seven times so you have seven strands of thread. Now using a size 10 beading needle add three seed beads in your chosen colour and make a small loop, thread upwards roughly 6 seed beads and loop down one to create another strand out the side, add three seed beads and a loop of three seed beads again but in the complementing colour threading back up that strand into the main centre piece again and continue this technique upwards unil you have a coral looking strand of beads that measures roughly 5 cm. You need to repeat this for all seven strands of thread but alternate the colours each time.
Step 3
Now attach the coral tassels to the main necklace starting from the centre and move out, ensuring they are close together and bunching slightly.
