I'm not going to lie I had alot of problems while making this. First, the length of the string was very confusing for me. I measured twice, cut it wrong so I had to deal with the string being short. Then,the pearls that I bought did not have big enough holes for the hemp to go thru so I had to improvise with regular beads. With all that being said I didn't have much fun making the necklace. Now when I look back at it, I should have added more beads to the necklace instead of skipping strings. It doesn't look as full because the beads were so small. I do want to say however, that if I had all the right materials this would have been a fun and easy project. Thanks for sharing =)
