Crystal rondelle necklace

This necklace looks hard to make but is in fact very easy to create.
You will need: 50 grams of size 8 seed beads One Tibet fastener Eleven 8 X 10mm crystal rondelle beads (£2.50 for 30 beads) Beading thread

Start with threading a needle on to 120cm of beading thread. Attach one piece of the Tibet fastener first. Then thread on 22 seed beads followed by one crystal bead repeat the process until you have used all eleven large beads. Attach the other part of the fastener. Then thread your needle back through the crystal bead. Thread on another 22 beads. Continue until you have been backwards and forwards along the length of the necklace four times.

I buy most of my beads on-line at www.totallybeads.co.uk I learnt how to make this with my friends at the local WI craft group in Ashby de la Zouch.
