Be sure to empty contents into a small container or paper plate to corral the beads!
String prep - you might want to prep the strings in advance. It can be time-consuming unless you have several adult hands to help.
Add tape to the ends of the string, like a shoelace aglet, to aid in stringing beads. Leave a bit over the end - it helps to guide through the holes.
Put brown/cream bead on the split ring first. Then put cord through the brown/cream bead. Next, add the blue bead as shown and begin stringing beads.
