How its done:

I began by making a cord, this was done by plaiting thread.

Then I collected together the beads I wanted to use.

Next I had to make the metal charms I wanted to decorate my long necklace with.

To do this I had to design the items on paper

Then I had to cut draw them onto the metal and cut them out with a saw.

Then I filed and sanded them to give them a nice finish. I then threaded them with a bead.
I then decided on the layout of my necklace before knotting and threading the beads.
And this was the end product.
