How to make a twisted beaded necklace

One very dramatic combination for a twisted bead necklace is to assemble all shapes and sizes of beads in the same color family. This adds texture and depth to your necklace.
Firstly, you should decide how many strands you wantand design the pattern for each strand, For example, you can do one strand alternating two colors of seed beads, one strand with half triangle beads in red and the next half in purple, and a third strand alternating bugle bead colors. You can also do a strand with 10 or 12 multicolor beads, then one crystal bead, then the multicolor beads, then one crystal, and so forth.
Secondly, you need thread the beads you've chosen in continuous strands. For each strand, cut a 100-inch length of nylon, thread through a beading needle and connect the strands with a knot.
Thirdly, takinging beginning and ending thread ends together, knot securely and dot the knot with a drop of jewelry cement. When the cement is dry, trim the ends.
Then, you can open the clasp. Loop one end of all strands over the opened clasp. Loop the other ends of the strands over one finger, and twist several times.Twist as little or as much as you like, keeping the other end "loop" of the continuous strands together
Finally,.Put the necklace around your neck, slip on the other end of the strands and close the latch.
