Tip: Make your necklace longer or shorter simply by adding or subtracting bead segments. The way the necklace is now, it should wrap around your wrist about 4 times. A longer necklace will be able to make more wraps around your wrist.
Tip: Check package quantities for each component. You may have extra material to make more than one finished project, or will have leftovers for other projects. In some cases, adding on just one more package of a component may be all you need to make multiple pieces.
