This is another kit in my collection of necklaces called "Painting with Beads". This necklace just makes me think of decorated Easter eggs!! How fun!

You will learn four great techniques in this kit: 1) You will learn the “Half-Knot” method for attaching a pendant (helpful when a Lark’s Head Knot isn’t feasible), 2) you will learn the technique for “Starting in the Middle”, 3) you will load beads for a Colorblock/Double Spot pattern and 4) you will learn how to make an adjustable closure with beaded tassels. This is a fun necklace to make and these are techniques you can adapt to your other projects.

This necklace is designed with 14 "sections" (7 sections each side of the focal beads) of color-blocking with contrasting double spots. The finished length of the beaded sections are about 9” on each side, the braided tails are 6” on each side.  The adjustable closure allows you to wear the necklace as long 30”.  This necklace showcases a handpainted Easter Egg Pendant!

You will need: Kumihimo Disk (I like to use the Beadsmith THICK Mini), 9 Bobbins, Scissors, Tape Measure, Hemostat Clamp or Lobster clip.
