    Quick Project Steps

    Start by gathering all materials as listed. Cut a length of knotting cord and singe the ends using a lighter or thread zap to prevent fraying. Begin by tying a slip knot and add your first set of beads (Czech glass and gemstones). Incorporate the Athena cast charm connectors and continue adding beads, following the pattern. Use knotting techniques to secure each section of beads and charms. Finish by tying a knot to add a button clasp or make it adjustable, as desired. Ensure all knots are secure and trim any excess cord carefully.
