2. You can now begin adding the beads of your choice and can try different things until you are satisfied with the appearance of your beads. Here you can use the space beads in the middle of your other beads to provide spacing in between each bead. You will possibly need a clasp and two bead tips, which are used to secure the ends of your necklace so that the clasp can be hooked up.

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

4. Now you will use the pliers to attach the clip into a beaded hook so that the loops at the tip of each one are joined. You will then use the pliers to close one ring over the other and will continue to do this until you have completed all of the clasps.
