Centering The Bead On Recycled Jewelry

Hi. I'm Jason. Today I'm shooting of behalf of Expert Village.com. And we've done all the smoothing of all the edges. We've decided how we want it to be worn. And we've just decided where the middle was. If you don't want your beads to move it's as stringing them on, I mean if you do want your beads to move, it's as easy as stringing them on and that's it. If you don't want them to move. If you want the skull in the middle and the beads on either side, what you'll need to do to keep them in this place is you're going to need to tie a couple of knots. The first knot you're going to need is going to be to keep the bead from moving up the necklace this way. So lay everything out according to your center mark, in the center of the charm which will also be in the center of these two holes here. A bead on each side. That determines that we will need to place the knot approximately here. So we'll mark this, rather than mark with one line so we don't get confused, I'm going to mark where the end of the bead will be and just out about an 1/8th of an inch I'll make another mark and that will become the knot that will keep that from moving. The bead from moving farther up the necklace. And you can still see the center mark and we're going to tie the knot. So we'll do the knot tying and first bead assembly next.
