Bracelet
1. Cut a piece of nylon to fit twice around your wrist. Make a knot 5-7 cm from one end large enough to stop beads sliding off.
2. Add beads randomly until you have threaded enough to fit your wrist.
3. Once there are sufficient beads, tie the two ends together remembering to pull tightly ensuring the nylon does not come undone. Cut off the excess nylon with scissors.
Necklace
Make a longer version of the bracelet to make necklaces of varying lengths. Add a larger shell or drop bead to the centre to make a pendant.
Tip: You could also make earrings, anklets and brooches.
Experiment with other beads to create your own original designs.
Decorate a mache trinket box to store jewellery or use as a presentation box for jewellery gifts.
