Prepare Your Materials: Gather all materials and cut approximately 6 feet of beading thread.
Start Beading: Thread your needle with the beading thread and start by adding Miyuki Seed Beads 15/0, followed by an 11/0 bead, creating a base pattern.
Adding the Clasp: After reaching the desired length, add a wire guard and attach one side of the lobster clasp.
Creating Drops: Determine the placement for your DropDuo Beads and start adding them along with the 15/0 seed beads to create the drop effect.
Finishing Touches: After completing the drops, finish the other end with a wire guard and attach the other side of the lobster clasp.
