Candy Cane Necklace (Caution, Do Not Eat!)
I know I get comments all the time that people want to eat my beads. Now that I have made candy cane beads, it's even more tempting.

2 green and red glass beads
8 silver 4mm balls
26 lime green 6mm Czech rounds

2 crimps
1. Begin assembling your necklace by crimping one half of the clasp to the beading wire.
2. String 9 Czech rounds, a silver ball, and another Czech round onto the wire.
3. Next string a tube, a Czech, a silver ball, and a glass bead. Continue by stringing another silver ball, a Czech beads, and the second ceramic tube.
4. String a Czech bead, a silver ball, and the tree bead.
