[1] Attach a stop bead (Basics, p. 134) on 4 ft. (1.2m) of Power Pro, leaving a 6-in. (15cm) tail.[2] Pick up an 110 seed bead, a 7mm bugle bead, an 110, a 6mm color A lentil bead, an 110, a bugle, an 110, an A, an 110, and an A. Repeat this pattern until the strand measures 25 in. (64cm). End the
strand with an A, an 110, a bugle, and an 110. At the end of the strand, string a stop bead with a hole large enough to accommodate a T-pin.[3] Repeat steps 1 and 2 twice.[4] Using 6mm color B lentils instead of As, repeat steps 1 and 2 three times with the following change: in step 2 pick up a repeating pattern of an 110, a bugle, an 110, a B, an 110, a B, an 110, a bugle, an

110, and a B. On the final repeat, leave off the last B.[5] Pin the six strands to a polyfoam board. Group the three A strands on the left and the three B strands on the right (photo a).[6] To begin the six-strand braid, cross the far right B strand over the other two B strands (photo b). Cross the far left A strand over the other two A strands and the adjacent B strand (photo c).[7] Continue crossing the far right strand over two strands and the far left strand over three strands for the length of the neck-lace. Rotate each lentil to face outward as you braid.[8] Remove the stop bead from one end of each strand. Using the ends of the six strands, tie an over-hand knot (Basics) at the end of the necklace close to the beads. Tie the six threads to an eye pin with two or three overhand knots. Place a drop of glue on the knot and let it dry.[9] Slide a cone on the eye pin. Make the first half of a wrapped loop (Basics), attach half of a clasp, and finish the wraps. Trim the excess wire.[10] Repeat steps 8 and 9 on the other end of the necklace. w
