Blue Tides Necklace

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 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.
