2 Instructions to complete You Were Made for Me necklace: Tip This necklace is made with a variation of basic right angle weave using seed beads in the spaces between pearls. If you are not yet familiar with right angle weave, learn and practice the stitch using only crystal bicone beads as shown in the Basic Right Angle Weave Technique before beginning this intermediate-level necklace.

To reinforce the necklace, pass back through all beads in the stitch one additional time after completing each stitch. Step 1 Using wire cutters, cut the chain into two 6.5-inch lengths.

Then continue to pass back through the first three beads strung one more time. Step 3 String three 3mm Cream pearls, and pass through the pearl exited at the end of Step 2. Pass through the next two pearls. Step 4 String three 4mm Cream pearls, and pass through the pearl exited at the end of Step 3. Pass through the next two pearls.
