Re-purposing Beads



Oh, I should have made this a tute... but the spontaneity of creating took over. These awesome beads were given to me by a friend, they were part of a necklace that was a little too small for my neck. So I cut the wire and decided to re-thread them. I took a piece of yellow hemp thread and then thread the beads onto them. Then I left a bit of length on either side and plaited some extra yellow thread in. The seed beads on the necklace are two bracelets that I have wrapped around and around the hemp thread (hides the knots from the plaiting too!). I finished them off by adding some findings and voila! A happy summer necklace!
