If you are engaged in the bead craft at all, you will certainly need to be aware of how to design a beaded necklace. Whether for yourself to wear, for your friends, your daughters, or for your customers, you will want to learn how to make a necklace particularly since they are the most preferred beading pieces that people put on and will spend their money on.

Following is a list of the materials that you will need. These are fairly common bead craft materials, so you may as well get them now! You will require flat nose pliers, jewelry string, a beading needle, beading threads, spacer beads, the beads of your preference, scissors, and craft gum. Now that you have all of the materials you will pursue these easy procedures to craft your necklace.

1. Now that you have the supplies you will need, you will take your beading thread and decide how long you will like your necklace to be. As you have selected a length you will want to add about 3-4 extra inches so that when you add the clasps you will still have the required length.

2. You can now get started adding the beads that you like and can try many things until you are happy with the look of your beads. Here you can use the space beads in between your other beads to give them spacing in between each bead. You will additionally need a clasp and two bead tips, which often are used to tie the ends of your choker so that the clasp can be attached.

3. Once you have determined the look of your beads you can put a loop on the end of the string and use the scissors to cut off any excess thread that you might have. Be sure to make a good knot so that it does not release itself and becomes unfastened. Then you will apply the craft glue to the knot so that it is secure and in place.

4. Now you will utilize the pliers to secure the clip into a beaded hook so that the loops at the end of each one are connected. You will then use the pliers to secure one ring on the other and will keep doing this until you have done all of the clasps.

Now that you have an easy step on how to make a beaded chain, you will be able to do this for yourself or for business purposes. There are so many people that are into the bead craft hobby and are prepared to pay for a fine piece of jewelry, so whether or not you are creating it for yourself or not, it is a hobby that you can turn into a nice business opportunity.
