Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1

Cut 3.5 meters of cord, placing an overhand knot in the middle. Begin stringing on your beads on one side. Knot in between each bead.
TIP - If you pull your next bead against the knot, it will secure the knot in place.
27 Fossil Jasper, 12 Beryl Morganite, 3 Fossil Jasper, 3 Beryl Morganite, 1 Fossil Jasper, 7 Beryl Morganite, 1 Fossil Jasper = 54 beads

Step 2

Repeat the pattern from Step 1 on the other side = 108 beads

Step 3

String your Om coin as the guru bead.

Step 4

Make a tassel using sari yarn and the antique gold C-Lon. Attach to the necklace using the tails of cord remaining after you have strung your guru bead. Make sure to dab all end knots with adhesive and use the thread burned to finish off all ends.
