Miyuki Picasso imitation turquoise and faceted gold tube beads necklace

The necklace in the tutorial is 46 cm. Cut 60 cm of transparent nylon thread. If you want to make a longer necklace then cut a longer thread. Thread one or two crush tubes. Thread the thread through the ring of the spring clasp and back through the two tubes. Pull the wire to keep at least 7 cm of wire end (you will hide it in the beads at the end of the tuto) and place the tubes near the clasp. Flatten them with a pair of flat pliers or fold them in half with a crush pearl pliers if you want to put a crush pearl cover over them at the end.
