TIPS:
* String the center section first, using the 10" section of Beadalon. At each end, string through the loop of a gunmetal center-crimp with loop, and finish with 2 carefully flattened crimp beads.
* Put a crimp bead at the very end of one of the 5-6" pieces of Beadalon. Flatten it. This will help the Beadalon stay inside the center-crimp end.
* Line up this end with one piece of black suede, and one piece of light brown “suede”. Carefully insert this into one of the crimp ends that is attached to the center portion of the necklace. Flatten the indented portion of the center-crimp.
* 1-1.5" up from this end, use the light brown cord to gently tie a knot around the Beadalon. Add 3 tiny 05-000-02's to the Beadalon. (They'll rest against the knot.) If desired, loosely wrap the 2 thin pieces of cord around the black cord once or twice, pull all 3 tight, and trim the ends so all 3 are identical. Add a crimp to the end of the Beadalon, and finish with a center-crimp finding. Repeat this tip for other half of necklace, but use the hook.
