Beading

Sew thread into inside seam of pocket several times to secure. Beading order: 5 white seeds-green crystal-red bugle-yellow seed-5 white, repeat 2 more times. Next: green crystal-small red rectangle-3 white-green crystal-large red rectangle-green crystal-3 white-small red rectangle-green crystal. Repeat first pattern 6 times then string whites to make necklace as long as you would like until its a little over half as long as you would like it. Reverse the order and go back down the other side. The red with a yellow bead over it is supposed to be tiny candle patterns, which is why I reversed it. If you are unsure whether you have the pattern right, lay it next to the other side to make sure they are parallel.
