Laying Out Beads for ID Badge Holders

Hi. I am Robin with Treesmom.com. We?re making a video for Expert Village today. We are showing how to make beaded necklaces and bracelets and a beaded ID holder and we have our bead board in front of us here. We?re going to lay it out the beads the one that we want to put them on our, our bead along wire. I have a ready done half of our, half of our necklace here so we?re going to lay out the beads to match this, this half. We have our 10 MM beads and on each side of the 10 MM bead we're going to put a 6, 6 MM bead. Then on each side of it we?re going to put our 4 MM bicone Swarovski crystal and this is one section. The next section you can see this is the middle that I have marked. And so down here we need to put the 6 MM beads with a bicone crystal in the middle and our angel charm next. With another 6 MM bead, then the bicone crystal, the 6 MM bead, the 10 MM bead, the 6 MM bead and the bicone crystal. And this is the pattern that you?re going to use up this side and it?ll just match the pattern on this side. So we have our 6 MM beads, our 8 MM silver one and the next Swarovski crystal and we?ll do that all the way up. And you can decide how long you want to make it. Wherever you felt comfortable wearing, your ID badge or the long necklace or whatever. And that?s where these lovely measurements come in handy. So that you can decide how long you want to measure.
