1. Cut a piece of beading wire about 20 inches long.

2. Add a crimp bead or clam shell to one end of the wire.

3. String on about 6 inches of green beads. For stringing seed beads onto beading wire, I find it easiest to place a small pile of beads onto the corner of my bead board. Then I pierce the wire through the beads. Usually, I can get a few on at a time this way.

4. If you used a crimp bead, tuck excess bead wire down through the beads that are next to your crimp bead.

5. Add on a pumpkin bead - stem first.

6. String on 15 green beads.

7. Add on a pumpkin bead - stem first.

8. String on 10 seed beads.

9. Repeat steps 5 - 8, but turn the pumpkin around so it is bottom first.

10. String on 6 inches of green beads.

11. Finish off with a crimp or bead tip. Tuck beading wire into beads if using a crimp.

12. You could finish here, but to add a vine look to your necklace, continue.
