1. Cut two (2) lengths of thread 1 yard long. Cut one (1) length of thread as long as you can comfortably work with (at least 5 feet in length would be okay)

2. Condition thread with beeswax of Thread Heaven ™ if desired.

3. Gather all three threads at one end and attach to clasp. (pic. A)
- pic. A

4. Choose one strand as your BASE strand and string on 1 crystal ( I did use 2 on the necklace in the photos, but you don't have to)
and then enough of your base colour seed beads to almost the desired length (pic. B) Actual length is adjusted after the loops are added.
Place a stopper bead on this strand to keep beads from coming unstrung.

5. Thread needle on to second strand to be used for LOOPS of the necklace. Pass this thread through the end crystal
(and as many, or none, of the seed beads) of the BASE strand as desired) String 15 of the same colour seed bead
as the base strand and pass through the 10th bead on the BASE strand. (See diagram A)

- diagram 1

6. Repeat with adding 15 beads and passing though every 10th bead on the BASE strand, until the end.

7. Adjust number of beads on BASE strand to match loops at end and string a crystal on both strands at the end.

8. Thread needle on to the last (3rd) thread to form the POINTS of the necklace
(Things may seem a bit more complicated at this point, but once you do a few motifs, you will have the hang of it!! I promise!)

9. Pass this thread through the end crystal (and any seeds beads, if you did this) to the start of the LOOPS and pass through the first four beads in the loop.

10. Bring thread up and add on 4 seed beads of the SECOND colour.

(NOTE: It may take a different number of beads to make it from LOOP to BASE strand depending on the beads you use.
This is fine, simply adjust according to your bead size so the POINT strands lays flat in between the two.)

11. Pass POINT thread through the FIFTH (5th) bead of the BASE strand in between LOOPS.

12. Thread on 4 (or the number you used in step 10) more beads and pass through the top of the
11th bead in the LOOP strand andexit between the 11th and 10th bead. (Shown on pic E and diagram 2)

- pic E

13. Thread on 7 beads of the second colour, 1 crystal, 1 bead.

14. Pass through crystal again, by-passing the 1 seed bead.

15. Again, thread on 7 beads of the second colour
- pic F

16. Pass POINT thread through the bottom of the 5th bead in the next LOOP,
exiting between the 4th and 5th beads of this LOOP. (See diagram 2)

- diagram 2

17. Repeat steps 10 through 16 to create POINTS between each LOOP until you reach the end.

18. Thread POINT bead through to final crystal.

19. Attach all three thread to clasp.

20. Thread all three strands on each end through beginning to crystals to finish, adding a drop on glue on each knot if so desired.

21. Admire your creation!!!
