What you'll need:
- Amethyst Faceted Rondells
- 8mm Creamy White South Sea Shell Pearls
- Bead Tips x2
- Fish Hook Clasp
- Nylon thread, approx 25cm.
Notes: Another simple design that looks fantastic. Elegant and sophisticated, this bracelet wouldn't look out of place in an upmarket jewellery store. But you can make it yourself for a fraction of the cost!
- Cut your piece of nylon in two, and tie a knot at one end. I have used quite fine nylon, that's why I've used two pieces rather than one. If you're using stronger thread this is not necessary. Slide on your bead tip. See photo.
- Cut the excess nylon off, and dab a small amount of super clue on the knot. Close your bead tip using either your fingers or a pair of pliers. see picture.
- Thread your beads on, starting with a shell pearl. For evey two pearls, add one faceted amethyst rondell.
- Continue this process until you have reached your required length.
- When you have reached the end, add your bead tip. Tie a knot around a pin, then pull the pin as close to the beads/bracelet as possible. See photos
  - Pull out the pin, and pull the knot tightly (using pliers to pull the knot close to the beads as you do this will help). Snip off the excess nylon, add a dab of superclue to the knot and close the bead tip.
- Now add your clasp (you may need to also use some jump rings if the hole on the clasp is too small for the bead tips), and you're finished!
