Twenty-two 1.3mm silver crimp beads

Steps:
Hold the Beadalon® 19 strands together and place a crimp tube 1/2" from the end. String the Beadalon® 19 strands through half of the clasp and back into the crimp tube to form a loop. Use crimping pliers to crimp the crimp tube.
On one strand, leave 1," then string a crimp bead. Use crimping pliers to crimp it, then string beads as follows: ten black E beads, two spacers, one red E bead, one cane glass bead, one red E bead, two silver spacers, ten black E beads and a crimp bead. Crimp it. Leave 1" and repeat the beading pattern five more times using a different color of E beads for each.
For the second necklace strand, leave 2," then repeat the beading pattern from Step 2. Hold the Beadalon® 19 ends together and string a crimp tube 1/2" from the end. String the ends through half of the clasp and place them back into the crimp tube to form a loop. Use crimping pliers to crimp it.
