    Step 1

    Gather all your supplies if you normally do so. Cut the chord so it is at least an inch longer than you need. You will need +- 9 seed beads and +- 14 crystal beads, but you can also decide to use half of that if you use bigger beads. You also need 1 crimp, a small jump ring, a large jump ring, a lobster clasp and 2 bead ends

I can't believe nobody has asked yet! If it isn't too much of a bother, could you make a simple how-to? I'd love to see how it's done!
