Start Making Bead Stations

3. The entire necklace is about 40 inches in length and made with sections of chain and bead stations connecting the chain. None of the bead stations match, so this when you can get really creative and create a bead pattern for each station.

Make a wrapped loop on the end of some beading wire, slip on your first selection of beads, making another wrapped loop, but before closing it, slip one end of the chain onto the loop.

Pictured is an example of one of the bead stations on my finished necklace. Noticed how I added a bead cap on both ends of the bead.
