The cord and beads used have an inner diameter of 3mm, so all elements fit snuggly and align when strung onto the necklace. 2. String beads on cording repeating pattern, checking measurement to obtain desired finished necklace length. Next, attach the toggle clasp (page 93) and begin to string beads onto the cord in desired pattern. 3. T h e c o m p l e t e d necklace should look like the photo at approximately 16" in length. If a longer necklace is desired, repeat pattern to obtain this length. Note: Cording length and number of beads needed will vary.
