I wanted to create a summer design using blue tones and the abalone fit the design perfectly. This is a quick and simple design - a great addition to my summer accessories.

Supplies you’ll need:

You will need 1 wood and resin 38mm coin, abalone ovals beads, 8/0 seed beads, C-lon .5mm cord, a clasp, 2 crimp tubes and covers.

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step

Step 1

Cut three strands of cord, length depends on how long you want this necklace. Feed the strands of cord through the focal hole and tie a knot.

Step

Step 2

Now create three square knots, then slide the abalone bead onto the middle cord. Both outside strands go around this bead. Create a square knot on the end of the bead. Make sure your knots are nice and tight. Check out the tip below to make a square knot.

See Tip: Tying the Square Knot

Step

Step 3

Repeat Step 2 twice. Then start braiding the cord and add seed beads on throughout, finish with a knot.

Step

Step 4

Now you can start another square knot and add two more oval beads and finish by attaching your clasps.
