Work two small ropes and join them together through the accent bead or work a longer rope for a necklace without a focal bead. You must know how to crochet to complete this project.
Required Materials: Seed beads, bugle beads, focal bead, eye pins, end caps, toggle clasp, jump ring, cotton crochet thread, beading thread. See project for complete list.
