Materials Required:
1. Four large crimp beads
2. Beads of your choice - NB: The hole in the beads must be larger than the thickness of your chosen thread, but smaller than the squashed crimp bead.
3. Thread 40cm long (I used black jewellery twine 1mm diameter). Leather, imitation leather and other types of thread will also work well. Thin (1mm diameter) thread is best as it fits through the holes of more beads.
4. Flat nosed pliers. (Other pliers can be used but the flat nose ensures you don't leave obvious dents in the crimp beads when you squash them)
