Creating Cabochon Segments: Start by threading three cup buttons with seed beads in between, forming the base of the necklace's segments.
Stringing the Segments: String the completed segments together, adding two cup buttons on each end to serve as clasps.
Making the Beaded Rope: Construct a herringbone rope using a gradient of colors for the necklace’s length.
Adding End Caps: Finish the rope with peyote stitch end caps, securing them and adding a decorative touch.
Assembly: Connect the beaded rope to the cabochon segments, ensuring a secure attachment with additional beading if necessary.
Final Touches: Add a loop for the clasp and secure all threads, completing your Octocup Necklace.
