Make a long beaded necklace

Make stylish necklaces using just a few widely spaced beads on fine leather cord

You will need:

- 10 assorted novelty beads
- 12 round beads
- 1m of fine leather cord
- headpins
- jump rings
- small round-nose pliers

All available from The Bead Shop (020 7240 0931)

To make
Thread headpins through all the novelty beads. Attach two beads to a jump ring by bending end of headpins with pliers to make loops through rings, and cut away excess. Thread beads onto cord in groups, centrally positioned, about 10cm apart, with two novelty beads on a jump ring in between two round beads. Knot the cord on either side of round beads to keep in place. Thread a round bead onto each end, knotting cord either side of beads. Knot ends of cord together.
