How to: Basic Bead Necklace
1. For the basic necklace you will
need to begin by making your beads.
You can use either hexagonal or
round crayons. The beads I cut were
7mm long. To cut your beads use a
small, sharp, hacksaw blade. (In the
UK you can pick up a junior hacksaw
for a pound or two in most hardware
shops). Take your time when cutting
the crayons and try not to apply too
much pressure…that way you are less
likely to chip the paint off the
outside.
2 & 3. Don’t worry if the cut surface
of your beads look a bit scruffy…all
they need is a quick rub with some
sandpaper. I found it easier to lay the
sandpaper on a flat surface and rub
the bead along it.
4. Now drill a hole in the side of each
bead using a small drill bit. Make
sure you place a scrap piece of wood
underneath. It’s not a good idea to get
holes in the kitchen table!
Once you have cut a number of beads
simply string them onto a length of
thread…job done!
Tip: These little beads are also make
lovely bracelets. If bright colours
aren’t your thing then try some more
subdued shades. White colored pencil
beads look especially nice.

How to: Pointy Necklace
1. Begin by sharpening your colored
pencil, then cut the end off as before.
My beads measured about 3.5cm in
length.
2. Drill a small hole through the end
of your beads
3. String the beads onto some thread.
You can add some co-ordinating
beads if you wish.
