Another pretty and simple chain is made of large rose-pink crystal beads strung on pink raffia; or you can use seeds or berries instead of the crystal beads, in which case the raffia will have to be split. Tie the strands of raffia together at one end, and on each of the other ends thread a fine darning needle. String one bead, then pass both needles through a single bead and through another and another (see Fig. 38a). Two beads are then slipped on each strand (see Fig. 38a). Next both needles pass through three beads, and so on to the end of the chain. Tie the ends securely.


Double Chain of Seeds and Beads

Materials Required: A bunch of crystal beads, letter E,
25 large beads of a deeper shade or the same number of seeds or berries,
A spool of No. 60 white linen thread,
A No. 5 needle.
