One piece, two ways to wear. This convertible necklace effortlessly wraps into a layered bracelet stack. Colorful African seed beads pair with sparkling Brazilian amazonite hearts to bring a subtle, happy pop of color to any look.

Supplies you’ll need:

  • African recycled glass seed beads
  • hypo-cement or any gel-based glue
  • Brazil Amazonite hearts
  • pearls
  • Czech fish
  • head pins
  • jump rings
  • Java glass gooseberry beads

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Cut about 4' of elastic cord. Slide the beads on in the order shown. Be sure to leave a larger hole bead for the end to hide your knot in. Watch the video to learn how to tie an elastic knot.

Step 2

Slide a fish bead onto a head pin. Use a looper tool or round-nose pliers to create a loop at the top. Make a few fish and attach them sporadically throughout the necklace.

Step 3

The Java glass is already strung. I just popped it on for another color layer. You could string it onto some elastic cord to make a bracelet.
