Start with your favorite beads. I used 2 kinds: a larger silver pearl and a smaller white pearl.
Two strands of clear stretch cord.
A beading needle with a wide opening.
String using an alternating pattern.
I tied a knot in each end and then tied the ends together. My beading magazine recommends a surgeons knot (which you can google), but I had tons of trouble with that so I just kept tying knots until I was SURE it wasn't (ever) going to come untied.
And then apply a dot of superglue to the knot for extra reassurance.
And then to hide the knot, and give this a fun look, add a ribbon bow.
