A beautiful multi-strand necklace like this one can take days, but it's just hours if you happen to have a bead loader.
Gleaming and mysterious colors make this multi-strand necklace come alive. As this necklace shows, all it takes is a beautiful color palette for inspiration to strike
Cut six lengths of KO beading thread approximately 24 inches long each. Slide the Patricia Healey copper flower pendant over all six threads, so that it sits at the center of the strands.
Add a random pattern of the Midnight Magic Designer Seed Bead Blend to all of the strands. Start stringing beads onto all six strands and even on both sides of the pendant, so that the colors in the blend are spread out evenly. If you want, you can use the Spin-N-Bead Jr bead loader to quickly add your seed beads to the thread. Repeat on the other side of the pendant. Make sure to leave a two-inch tail on both ends of the necklace.
Knot all six strands of thread together on one end of the necklace. Thread the ends of the strands through the hole in a clam shell bead tip with 2 rings. Knot the strands together again, dab them with adhesive and then pinch the bead tip closed around the knot. Repeat this step for the other end of the necklace.
